Part memoir and part mystery is how to best describe Wayne Hoffman’s new book, The End of Her: Racing Against Alzheimer’s to Solve a Murder. Utilizing his skills as both a journalist and a novelist, Hoffman recounts his quest to solve the murder of his great-grandmother, killed in her sleep in Winnipeg in 1913, and to share his findings with his mother before her mind is ravaged by Alzheimer’s Disease. In the process, the author’s search for truth explores issues of Jewish identity, the immigrant experience, familial obligation, love, and loss.
