Dr. Sohil Makwana builds the avant-garde legacy in psychological thrillers by his book series Murdrum

Dr. Sohil Makwana

The viral image was covered by media channels all over the world contrasted a doctor's pic inside the PPE suit and one outside it, the latter completely drenched in sweat after a day-long work. Yes, the same viral doctor, Dr. Sohil Makwana, is back with a bang, but in a new avatar; the avatar of an author of the high-tech adrenaline-rushing crime thriller book-series Murdrum. Once a national sensation, and now, an author of the outstanding duo-logy. Wow! But that's not the end. On exploration, we found that Dr. Sohil had been a fashion photographer whose editorials were published in Femina twice and an assistant director of a Marathi film ‘Bali.' What a talent!

In the current times where the entire Bollywood loiters on biopics and remakes, the intense and unsettling forensic thriller book-series MURDRUM by our ‘The Viral Doctor' Dr. Sohil Makwana hits the jackpot by its novelty and freshness. Clubbing the art of science and the science of art, Dr. Sohil gives us two bestsellers back to back and is hailed to be the Stephan King of India.

In Murdrum 1, the probe begins with high-tech forensic investigations against the most heinous serial killer. The first instalment of the Murdrum series packs a winning formula by terrifying, enchanting, troubling, and intriguing its readers all at once. Any reader who tries to assume the plot of what will happen next is more than likely to be wrong. The thriller blended with humour picks up from page one, gives you spine chilling ride, and leaves you on a mind-boggling cliffhanger. Murdrum The Probe Begins has been one of the most anticipated reads of 2021 with an average of 4.5 stars of around 500 readers on amazon, and Murdrum 2: Double Trouble lived up to that expectations with the jaw hitting the ground. What a ride! No exaggeration. And, you have to read it, to believe it…

Murdrum 2: Double Trouble starts with the mayhem of murder no. 26. Meandering twists and turns take you on edge, and you read the novel bio-punk (which is very rare in India) as the author is a doctor. The killer gang has remained mysterious throughout rising spine-chilling questions about what makes a monster out of a man. Even the most astute readers will be in for a shock as Dr. Sohil slowly unspools the bizarre facts, exposing the harsh realities of human behaviour, criminal psychology, social and psychosocial science, and childhood trauma. Unputdownable. The real page-turner.

The writing is scalpel-sharp and uncluttered. The pace is fast, and the development through the timelines is commendable. The layers of suspense hit like a wrecking ball every time as your senses fail to perceive them despite the author giving plenty of hints throughout the story. The climax is mind-boggling. It has a poetic justice to it.

Highly recommended! Murdrum: The Probe Begins and Murdrum 2: Double Trouble are the one in a million thrillers that you need to add to your TBR pile immediately.
