MURDRUM BY dR.SOHIL MAKWANA

I picked up the book hoping to enjoy a murder mystery, as least that's what I thought of it by the title but surprisingly it's so much more than that. Through the character of Komal, a CBI intern, the author exposes a thrilling world of crime and it's investigation. On one hand the author propels the plot with linking Komal's past with present and on the other, he uses it as a tool to display this broad array of a cataclysmic world.

It's uniqueness lies in it's use of real-life events and characters in the construction of the plot. Moreover, the minute detailings of each event adds authenticity to the plot and the author's implementation of his medical dexterity that invigorate the richness of the novel.

At times, it becomes too intense with it's description of ghastly crimes but that's also what makes up for a good thriller. The inhumanity that can reside in a person is well-brought out. It almost plays with our imagination, creating a dark world of trepidation and violence but at the same time keeps us grounded, and makes us realise the realness of such horrific outcomes.

Thriller lovers, this nail-biting read full of suspense and insights is waiting for you. Pick up the book to hunt down a "Mysterious Hoodie", a serial killer.
