FAQs – MURDRUM : The Probe Begins

What is the plot of Murdrum: The Probe Begins?
Murdrum: The Probe Begins is a high-octane forensic crime thriller written by a real medical doctor Dr Sohil Makwana. It follows a brilliant female investigator, Komal Rathod, as she unravels a chilling series of over 100 murders… each more twisted than the last. Rooted in real life serial killer cases and scientifically accurate forensic techniques, this novel is a journey into the darkest corners of the criminal mind.

Is Murdrum based on real forensic science?
Yes. and that is what makes it so unsettling. Dr. Sohil Makwana, a practicing doctor, has woven actual investigative techniques and authentic forensic science into every chapter. Nothing is invented for drama’s sake; the science is accurate and the psychological profiling & modus operandi are clinical, providing a realistic look at how investigators catch dangerous killers.

Who is the protagonist of this crime series?
At the heart of Murdrum is a razor sharp female detective, Komal Rathod, whose brilliance is matched only by her emotional complexity. In a genre dominated by male investigators, she is a breath of fresh air. Readers who love strong women in crime fiction—think Clarice Starling or Vera Stanhope—will find her impossible to forget.

How is this different from other crime thrillers?
Most crime thrillers are fiction wearing the costume of forensics; Murdrum is forensics wearing the costume of fiction. Because the author is a medical professional, every post-mortem finding and forensic detail is authentic. Combined with unpredictable plot twists and a cinematic pace, there is simply nothing else like it on the market.

Is there a sequel to Murdrum: The Probe Begins?
Yes. The story continues in Murdrum 2: Double Trouble. The first book ends on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that will leave you desperate for answers. The sequel raises the stakes even higher, making it essential to clear your schedule for both books in this fast-paced crime series.

Who should read this forensic thriller?
Murdrum is for fans of intricate plotting and forensic authenticity. It targets readers of Patricia Cornwell, Thomas Harris, and Harlan Coben. It is ideal for true crime lovers and science enthusiasts who are tired of thrillers getting the medical facts wrong.

I do not usually read thrillers; will I enjoy this?
Absolutely. Murdrum reads with the emotional pull of literary fiction and the pace of a Netflix crime drama. The characters and relationships feel real, making it a compelling choice even for those who are new to the mystery and suspense genre.

How does a doctor write a crime thriller?
While most writers research from the outside, Dr. Sohil Makwana lives it from the inside. As a practicing doctor, he understands how medical science reveal secrets and how rare psychiatric conditions work. This clinical intimacy ensures you are reading precise, unsentimental, and absolutely gripping medical fiction.

What makes the plot twists so unpredictable?
The twists in Murdrum come from deep psychological logic layered quietly from chapter one. By the time a revelation hits, the clues were already there—you just could not see them. This hallmark of the best mystery writing provides the intellectual satisfaction fans of Agatha Christie crave.

Is the book suitable for first-time thriller readers?
Murdrum is written for mature readers who appreciate unflinching bizarre facts and psychological darkness. While it does not sanitize evil, the author brings a doctor’s discipline to the narrative, ensuring everything serves the story. It is a completely absorbing experience for any first-time thriller reader.
