Just read it!

What an incredible story. The suspense, the incredibly complex characters, the fact that it was so easy to relate to them and the fact that the story was so realistic, after all, it could happen, all of these made this story – un-put-downable (yes I invented a word, sue me). Irma’s strength and conviction make you root for her all the way. This story is thought-provoking and highly suspenseful. Just go read it.

*****Beautiful Murder Mystery

June 14, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I’ve come to love the way that Miss Mahurin tackles real subjects in her novel. I first became a fan of this author after reading her historical fiction so when I saw that she had a murder mystery available, I was quick to scoop that up since it’s one of my favorite genres. She did not disappoint.

Irma is stunned that her old college friend, a renowned heart surgeon, has been accused of murder. She vows to get to the bottom of the mystery because she knows that he can’t be the one responsible.

I loved how well-written both Irma and Peter were. They were complex with their own flaws and strengths. Especially Irma. For all her confidence as a lawyer, she still had moments where she struggled to believe in herself, especially when it came to helping Peter.

The medical world introduced in the story is very real, and a fantastic foundation for the story.

*****A Lifetime Prepares Her For This Moment

June 3, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Never in her wildest dreams would Irma have guessed that all of her experiences in life would be leading to this one moment in time. This story is uniquely written as it chronicles the events in several people’s lives as they come together to work on solving a murder mystery. The overarching theme of the book is what love drives people to do; whether it’s love of money, position, or relationships.

I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story. Irma, Ben, and Peter have almost become like friends because of the way the storyline is presented. The motivations of the characters are pure, they want to help one another in life. What makes this story feel so believable is that true-life events are happening in the background, while the characters go about their lives. I especially liked the ending, which I won’t give away, because I don’t think that’s fair. Suffice it to say, I think you should read this book; you’ll really enjoy it!

When Irma learns that her old flame has been arrested and charged with manslaughter and negligence, which she knows he would never do, she takes it upon herself to investigate for information to exonerate him. What she didn’t expect was where that would take her…

Wow, this book is amazing! It’s as much character driven as it is psychological thriller, and characters feel like they jump off the pages! The author vividly portrays them and the mystery in such a way that you will keep reading long after your bed time!

Mysterious and Satisfying

May 29, 2019

Format: Kindle Edition

This intriguing novel is what I call a “wild card” thriller because it doesn’t fit neatly into any one category. It’s part murder mystery, part exploration of life’s enigmas, and part love story, and the author weaves these different threads into a complex and compelling tapestry. The underlying premise – which I won’t reveal – is quite fascinating and combines real world experiences with science, metaphysics and mysticism.

The main character, Irma, is someone we can relate to, and she’s easy to root for as she tries to vindicate her ex-boyfriend, who’s a heart transplant surgeon, from a murder charge involving one of his patients. The legal and medical environments and issues feel authentic, and the California setting adds appealing flavor.

Unique. Timely. Provocative.

****Good read

June 5, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I first discovered Paulette Mauhrin’s work when I stumbled across The Day I Saw The Hummingbird (if you have not read this – buy now! – it is fantastic) and knew this would be an author to watch. Irma’s Endgame, while in a different genre, is also full of beautiful prose. The characters are all well described and Mauhrin does a great job of putting you inside their heads. I was most drawn to Peter, Amelia, and Jeffery. I liked how current events were weaved into the story; I think it always makes it more interesting and easier to identify with. For me, there wasn’t a great deal of suspense because of the amount of exposition and at times I found myself skimming past parts to get back to dialogue or action. But for readers who want lots of wonderful description and internal thought, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with this story. 3.75/5 Stars

*****Very original mystery!

11 June 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I’m a big fan of this author and this is another great book, which I have finished reading in just two sittings. At the heart of the story is love and an original and thought provoking idea about what makes us human. I can’t say much as I don’t do spoilers but let me say this is a good mystery with plenty of suspense that makes you want to keep turning the pages. As with all the author’s books, the writing is excellent and the characters jump off the pages. Highly recommended!

*****An Absolutely Brilliant Read!

10 June 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

What a mind bender! Apart from the actual story itself the thought of personality transfer after organ donation is quite mind boggling. I really liked the concept and the story intrigued me from the outset. The characters are well developed and the descriptions riveting. The author has a great writing style and keeps the tension up throughout the story. Really enjoyed the whole experience.

****Complex Characters

16 June 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

An interesting array of complexities addressed in this fictional account involving the lives of five individuals. It made for uncomfortable reading in places but was a well-woven piece of literary fiction. Irma, a lawyer is drawn into a case involving her first love who is accused of involuntary manslaughter following the death of one of his patients. The other characters include the recipient of a heart transplant whose wife is confused by his behaviour post-surgery and the author delves into the cases of personality transference following transplant surgery. It’s left to Irma, or more importantly, her journalist friend to solve the mystery and to determine whether her ex is in fact guilty or innocent. All in all, an interesting read.

I enjoyed reading Irma’s Endgame. An eye opener in the area of organ donation and what can happen.
The love and bond two people share manages to continue even after death.

****Gripping

2 June 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I did not think I was going to like this at first, as so many depressing incidents occurred to the protagonist. I’m glad I continued reading however, as I was gripped from about the third chapter onwards. Based around the actual case of journalist Nellie Bly who inlitrated an infamous New York assylum in 1887. Sadly, there are echoes in recent cases of mistreatment of vulnerable people in care homes.

Positive Mental Attitude

I’ve read a lot around “The Final Solution” and how the great “super powers” failed the Jewish people. How America and Britain closed their doors and limited the number of refugees they would accept because they didn’t believe the stories of what was going on inside Germany. This is a poignant demonstration of the cliche “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. I can’t say I “enjoyed” the book in the common understanding of the word but I’m glad I read it nonetheless.
