✦ Dr. Sohil Makwana’s “SLEEPWALKER'S LULLABY” is only a psychological masterpiece? Oh no! It's more than that. It's a psychological mystery with dark suspense. This chilling story can take you to the deepest version of your thinking capacity. 💗

✦ The story line of this thought provoking suspense can be too much for you. Too much thrill. Too much suspense. Too much dark. Science and supernaturalism are here through Dr. Kadam, a brilliant psychiatrist. A certain type of incident happens with the patients who have sleeping disorders. There's a courtroom drama! Can you just imagine? A psychological thriller with a courtroom drama. 🌤️

✦ Dr. Kadam has Mr. Oberoi and Mr. Patel—his friends. And also, he has Netra, a friend. You'll know her beauty as well. One day a man with a dagger is accused of murder, but what's interesting in this? He is found dead, soaked in blood. Here comes Netra. 🍁

✦ I think I can't justify the character of Netra, a female lawyer. She's charismatic. Climax. Goosebumps. Don't you like that? There are lots of lies and deceit inside the beautiful mansion of a secretive couple, Dr. Kadam, a psychiatrist with schizophrenia, and Ganga Kadam. Who is the murderer then? How is he found? 🥀

✦ With medical twists and turns, the plot doesn't move to a certain path. I love the way the author explains certain aspects with proper briefness. This book indicates various points through its plotline, smooth writing, and gripping plot. This is not only a fictional psychological thriller that you can only sit-read-forget; this is just beyond to describe. 🍂

Hi there!! I bring you yet another thriller book review. In this book we walk with Dr.Kadma when he awakes in the middle of a park, bloody and with a dagger in his hand. When he returns to the mansion something happens and the police are there to greet him. What happened? Only reading can you know.

Dr. Sohil Makwana writes such an interesting tale, very depicted, I read as if I was in a movie with eerie scenes and mentally challenging ones, that makes you wonder what is happening. It’s a very easy read for those who feel that English books can be difficult. But beware because mental health is depicted and the whirlwind that comes with it. I do love the psychological part of this book, all the knowledge within it is super interesting and it hooked me. Some of the dialogue could be worked on, the more casual ones at the beginning of the book, however the technical dialogue is very well done. Also beware that there is some Hindi dialogue and idioms, which is normal and I love it, like I said in a previous review I made. I like these types of dialogue because it makes you immerse in the narrative and culture, and nothing that the translator can’t help with.

A maze until the end, you think you know what’s happening and then Puff! You are completely wrong and are led into a whirlpool of very well constructed details and plot that makes you surprised. The characters are well developed and intriguing. If you like thrillers, with medical themes and plot twists then I say for you to pick this one up and give it a try.

It was my first book that I picked from this author and to be honest I’m quite confused if I picked the right one. The author is quite famous among my friends circle but I am still not so sure because thrillers are not my genre. But to my surprise I’m intrigued from the first page itself that I couldn’t stop myself from exploring further. After finishing the book I regret wasting my time thinking if I should pick up this book or not. I enjoyed this book so so sooooo much.

A beautiful mansion in Goa has a perfect and romantic couple in it. But the perfectness is just a cover for the secrets, shadows and lies that reside in that mansion that were coming out one by one after the murder of the wife in that mansion. What are the secrets present inside the mansion and also inside the people of the mansion? To find out, grab “ The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby” by Dr Sohil Makwana and enjoy.

I really loved and enjoyed every page of this book. This book has everything, mystery, crime, suspense, romance and the author’s sense of humour is worth noting. This is the perfect start for me to explore this genre further. A worthy suggestion for all my bookish friends. Have a great day ahead!!!

The plot and the plot twists of this book send chills down my spine that I spent an entire sleepless night with this book.

A plot twist enters in when his wife is brutally murdered and he becomes accused for it. How is he going to prove his innocence??

I'd like to start by appreciating the author for the incredible design of this book. While many might overlook these aspects, I can clearly see the thoughtfulness that went into every detail, especially considering it’s a self-published work. From choosing the perfect size, paper quality, and fonts with this amazing cover design, every element enhances the overall experience.

The book’s sleekness, portability, and light weight, combined with its comfortable grip, make it a joy to hold and read. These subtle yet impactful details significantly enrich the reading experience—things we often appreciate but rarely mention in our reviews.

Now let's get back to main point which is masterfully crafted story. The narration style is so smooth then you will be easily transported into the world of this book. The brain chilling aspects of human psychology make me pause and wonder how complex can human mind be.

The mysterious and suspicious journey is gripping enough to make you read one more chapter every time you complete one. I didn't know sleepwalking can be viewed in such amazing aspect before this story. Characters were apt and entertaining with witty dialogues.

Overall it's amazing read with all the necessary elements and characters required for it making enjoyable, thrilling and gripping story. Definitely gonna recommend it to all mystery lovers.

The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby by Dr. Sohil Makwana is one of the finest books in the psychological thriller genre that embeds medical thriller with the suspense. It is about Dr. Kadam who is a sleep disorder expert whose job is to try to find out the cause of a series of deaths that appear to be as a result of sleepwalking. The plot of Makwana’s novel is a brilliant example of how a potential victim is being hunted for, and the major plus is that the author is a doctor, so the stuff about sleep disorders is quite realistic and involving.

Its main strengths can be noted in the effective portrayal of the topics of post-tragedma psychological and emotional states together with providing the character of Dr. Kadam with the background of personal suffers and regrets. Owing to the creepy set up, excellent narration and good characters’ portrayal, the book places readers in a world where there is little difference between waking life and nightmare. The content of it is quite mysterious and there is a number of twist which makes the end astonishing.

To the fans of psychological thriller *The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby* is entwined and can evoke a response of active reflection in the readers long after the last page is turned

No one believes when he says that there was someone else in the manor.


#bookreview
This is an assiduously plotted psychological thriller that plays with love, lies, deceit, revenge.
I like how the author weaves a story around a rare disorder called sleepwalking. What makes it more interesting is, its a fiction based on facts. Dr sohil sure knows how to give an exercise to your mind by including so many twists. The book is full of red herrings and you wont be able to guess whats the truth till the very end. You will get to play detective figuring out who the murderer is and all the mystery behind it. With easy language, good narration and fast pacing it becomes unputdownable.

A Psychological thriller with-
•Medical mystery
•Sinister conspiracy
•Courtroom drama

Something unique and memorable.

“When God sends someone to rest, a benevolent soul awakens to make a difference in the world. It’s all part of His great plan…”


After reading the Murdrum duology, who wouldn’t be excited to read Dr Sohil’s book. I was quite excited and also quite sure that this book is going to be a masterpiece that I’ll love for sure and now I can confirm that.


This book revolves around a psychiatrist with hallucinations who became an accused for the murder of his wife, a determinant female crime lawyer who’s trying to prove his innocence and an inspector who wants to prove the exact opposite. Who is right? Lawyer or Inspector?? Why would a loving husband kill his beautiful wife?? What is the actual reason for the hallucinations of this psychiatrist ?? if not the husband who could kill the wife?? Sounds pretty interesting isn’t it? Then you should dive into the author’s world of cunning minds and deadly intent. Beware!! Mind blowing plot twists and spine chilling goosebumps ahead…


With an incredible storyline, secretive and complex characters , interesting facts, mind blowing plot twists and engaging fast paced narrative this book is packed with literally everything that a curious thriller reader wants. This book gives the experience of watching a spine chilling mystery thriller in 3D at night even if you are reading at day time. I love how the author had masterfully woven a masterpiece with blurred lines of reality and illusions with some interesting and less known mental problems. This book’s fast paced narrative and simple vocabulary makes this book unputdownable, keeps us hooked till the end and the adrenaline rush will be at peaks. The climax.. My God the climax was quite unexpected and wonderful… 


I highly recommend all my bookish friends to give this book a try for sure, I’m sure this book will be one of the best mystery thriller reads you have ever read in the whole reading journey.  Happy Reading!!!

Lullaby is palpable, with the author’s use of descriptive language that evokes the sense of something sinister lurking beneath the surface. By setting the story in an old, creaky Victorian house, Makwana adds to its eerie atmosphere. The dark and dense forests that surround the house magnify this sense of uncertainty and fear.

The Sleepwalker's Lullaby- a psychological thriller by Dr. Sohil Makwana is a breathtaking journey into an abysmal edge of human mind. Besides being deeply unsettling, it is unbelievably thought-provoking because it intertwines medical insights with a terrifying narrative.

The novel revolves around Dr Kadam who is a very smart psychiatrist but is mentally ill in his own right when it comes to his specialty area; sleep disorders. Dr Kadam gets involved in a bone chilling investigation that merges supernatural occurrences with science as he seeks to solve mysterious deaths related to extreme cases of somnambulism among patients. In order for him to unearth what really happened, he persists in unearthing new information on each case. He subsequently discovers an ominous pattern that implies far more than just somnambulism might be going on.

There are several aspects showing that Makwana once worked as a doctor when describing various aspects of sleep disorders down to the most minute details of these conditions thereby making them appear real which can be termed as ‘deep diving’ into psychological chaos within characters who struggle against their own selves. As much as there exists external threats they face, author perfectly creates an environment where inner demons prey on his characters’ heads.

Sleepwalker’s Lullaby has got one such atmosphere which can be felt by reading through some lines where the writer has used vivid description words suggesting some evil occurrence hidden somewhere out there waiting for its turn thus making one feel like having goose bumps all over their body while still seated comfortably at home. This strange feeling emanates from the story being based on an old, rickety mansion that Makwana has managed to add to induce a sense of creepiness.

Imagine you were nicely sleeping in your comfy bed at your home, but when you got up, you were on a bench in a garden with bloodied clothes and a dagger in your hand. You have no clue as to what happened and how you reached there. What would be your reaction?? You have no memory of the scene and now you are clueless as to what exactly happened. And when you reach home you find a dead body covered in blood.
Scary isn't it??

The drama thriller 'The Sleepwalker's Lullaby' by Dr.Sohil Makwana is a new addition to the list of best murder mystery thrillers. This story has all the elements of an intriguing murder mystery with huge twists, a great explanation of medical terms, profound research of the topic, no drawbacks, no leak of suspense, unpredictable and shocking end. Being a doctor, Dr.Sohil has used his medical experience to a very good extent to bring out a fabulous real story to you. The goosebumps, the scary feeling, the curiosity to know the suspense, and with all that, you learn so many new things that will give you a complete package of entertainment and thrill.

The humorous quotient is also a perfect blend here, and showing a psychiatrist (protagonist) with such a witty personality was a good decision. Netra's character is the most required boost of the story. Also, Dr.Mane, the Inspector, and a few more characters (I can't give spoilers) will keep you engaged throughout. It was so interesting and intriguing that I couldn't put it down till I finished it. The pace, the flow the plotting everything is commendable. It's a perfect story for a great movie or a thriller series. You will be shocked, flabbergasted, blown, and whatnot.

If you are a fan of thrillers or if you're not a fan of thrillers, this will work for you as it will make you love thrillers for sure.

Ever stayed up way past your bedtime, so engrossed in a book that you forget the time? That’s exactly what happened to me with The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby. Dr. Sohil Makwana has crafted a psychological thriller that's both captivating and chilling. Dr. Makwana, known for his profound understanding of the human mind, has outdone himself with this novel. If you've read his previous works, you’ll know that he has a knack for delving into complex psychological themes, but this book takes it to another level.

The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby introduces us to Dr. Sanjay Kadam, a brilliant psychiatrist who finds himself tangled in a murder mystery that turns his world upside down. Dr. Kadam's journey through a series of enigmatic patients and unsettling clues keeps the reader on edge. The plot thickens with the introduction of a rare psychological disorder—sleepwalking. What starts as a seemingly trivial condition quickly becomes sinister, central to the drama that unfolds. The story is a labyrinth of secrets and lies, making sure you’re guessing right until the very end.

Dr. Makwana’s writing is sharp and engaging. His prose pulls you right into the dark, intricate world he’s created. What struck me most was how he describes psychological conditions with such expertise and empathy. It adds a layer of authenticity that really ramps up the suspense. His language is vivid and precise, making every plot twist feel immediate and intense. The way he uses alternating perspectives and flashbacks is masterful, building tension and deepening the narrative.

The characters in The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby are wonderfully complex. Dr. Kadam, our protagonist, stands out. His journey through his patients' secrets and the murder investigation is both fascinating and relatable. Each character has hidden motives that intertwine with the main plot, adding depth to the story. The use of sleepwalking as a plot device is original and intriguing, challenging what we usually think about this condition and adding a dark, psychological twist to the narrative.

The pacing of this book is perfect. The plot unfolds with just the right amount of tension and suspense, making it hard to put down. The twists and turns are unexpected and well-executed, keeping you constantly guessing. The structure, with its interwoven threads of mystery and psychological drama, is cohesive and captivating.

At its heart, the novel explores themes of trust, deception, and the fragility of the human mind. It dives into how psychological disorders can reveal deeper, darker truths and how the mind can be both a prison and a key to unlocking secrets. The book also raises intriguing questions about the nature of reality and perception, making it a thought-provoking read that stays with you long after you’ve finished.

Reading The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby was an emotional rollercoaster. There were moments of intense suspense, deep psychological insight, and unexpected revelations that left me both exhilarated and contemplative. Dr. Makwana’s storytelling is so skillful that the strong emotions it evoked really stood out.

The book’s ability to merge psychological depth with thrilling suspense is one of its greatest strengths. The richly developed characters, particularly Dr. Kadam, and the exploration of sleepwalking are standout elements. The unexpected plot twists keep you engaged and the detailed character development shines. Specific passages, like Dr. Kadam’s intense therapy sessions, showcase Dr. Makwana’s ability to blend psychological insight with dramatic tension.

If I had to point out a minor weakness, it would be that the intricate details of the psychological elements might feel overwhelming to readers unfamiliar with the subject. Additionally, some scenes occasionally feel stretched a bit too much, which can slightly slow down the pace. However, these are small trade-offs for the depth and authenticity that Dr. Makwana brings to the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby. Dr. Makwana’s expertise and storytelling prowess make this a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers. The exploration of the mind’s darker corners and the ability to keep you on edge are truly impressive. It’s a book that makes you think deeply while keeping you entertained—an impressive feat for any thriller.

In summary, The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby is a gripping psychological thriller that masterfully combines suspense with deep psychological insight. Dr. Sohil Makwana has created a novel that not only entertains but also challenges readers to think about the complexities of the human mind. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a thrilling, thought-provoking read. I’m eagerly waiting to see what Dr. Makwana comes up with next!

Dr. Sohil Makwana’s Sleepwalker's Lullaby is a riveting psychological thriller that takes the reader on a dark, suspenseful journey into the depths of the human mind. Blending medical insights with a chilling narrative, Makwana crafts a story that is as unsettling as it is thought-provoking.

The novel centers around Dr.kadam , a brilliant yet troubled psychiatrist who specializes in sleep disorders. When a series of mysterious deaths occur, all involving patients who suffered from severe sleepwalking episodes, Dr. Kadam is drawn into a terrifying investigation that blurs the line between science and the supernatural. As he delves deeper into the cases, he uncovers a sinister pattern, one that suggests something far more dangerous than mere sleepwalking is at play.

Makwana's background as a doctor is evident in the meticulous detail with which he describes the medical aspects of sleep disorders, adding a layer of authenticity to the narrative. However, this is not just a clinical exploration of a condition; it’s a deep dive into the psychological and emotional turmoil that plagues the characters. The author skillfully explores themes of trauma, guilt, and the subconscious mind, creating a story that is as much about the inner demons of the characters as it is about the external threat they face.

The atmosphere in Sleepwalker's Lullaby is thick with tension. Makwana’s writing is immersive, painting a vivid picture of a world where the boundary between waking life and the horrors of sleep is perilously thin. The novel’s pacing is expertly handled, with each chapter building on the last to create a crescendo of suspense that keeps the reader on edge.

Dr. Kadam is a complex protagonist, whose own struggles with sleep and a tragic past make him a deeply flawed yet relatable character. His journey through the novel is as much about confronting his own fears and regrets as it is about solving the mystery at hand. The supporting characters, including the sleepwalking patients and kadam's colleagues, are well-drawn, each adding depth and nuance to the story.

The twisty plot is filled with unexpected turns, leading to a climax that is both shocking and satisfying. Makwana masterfully ties together the various threads of the story, delivering an ending that is as thought-provoking as it is chilling.

Sleepwalker's Lullaby is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers, especially those with an interest in the darker aspects of the human psyche. Dr. Sohil Makwana has crafted a novel that is not only a gripping page-turner but also a profound exploration of the fears that lie beneath the surface of our consciousness. This is a book that will linger in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page.
