Reading Experience
At 31,479 words across roughly 126 pages, this one runs about 2.6 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For true crime, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
The Butcher of Pune comes from 2021, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 24 and still producing true crime work with no clear path to publication. True crime writing that requires the same unflinching honesty that characterizes the best of the non-fiction catalog.
