In the suburbs of Mumbai, the atmosphere is grim. There is an evil shadow lurking around, stalking and snatching able-bodied people. The hapless victims are never found again, all their bodily traces lost forever. In the midst of this is Maya Bhargava, a schoolteacher trying to forget a past personal tragedy. Her career looks promising though. She is learning to pick the broken pieces of her heart and move on. While still trying to cope, love comes her way. It comes from the most unexpected of quarters, from a man named Bhaskar Sadachari who is despised and even feared for his weird ways. The sensible and cautious Maya has her head in the right place, but it is her heart that refuses to obey. She chooses her new husband. And the horrors begin to unfold. The first draft of Maya's New Husband was written during NaNoWriMo 2014 and was a winner of the same. Maya's New Husband was a winner at The Literary Awards 2015 in The Entertainer category.

Maya's New Husband is a weird guy who was her colleague in the school, an art teacher named Bhaskar. Everyone in school speaks about as he is weird and a different musky smell come when he comes near. Maya is a widow as her husband Samar died, it was a suicide and found the body in railway track. At beginning Maya too doesn't like Bhaskar and soon she was falling for him and married him against the wish of her mother and sister. Bhaskar was a Cannibal who was kidnapping people and taking their heart of the atonement for his patricide. Everything started because of his want for the love of Maya.
All characters were narrated well and the story was written in a simple way that made me get along. I read the book at night a perfect time for a horror thriller.
There is no ghost or spirits or any supernatural things but it was horrifying with a lot of violence.
