Review of Expended

[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Expended" by E.W. Johnson M.D..]

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Nolan is a physician in Woodhaven, Washington. He has discovered several high-profile crime scenarios, and his intuition has always led him to reveal them, such as human trafficking, sex slave trade, and financial misappropriation. His most recent misadventures include the death of one of his former patients, Betty Sanderson, who died in her home. The report stated that she died in her sleep, but the calendar at her house showed that she had a visitor named MD in her house that afternoon before she was discovered dead the next day; he also discovered two cups that were used, implying that Betty Sanderson was visited before she died, but who visited? Is her death truly natural, or was she murdered? Is this just Dr. Nolan's assumption? Read this intriguing novel to find out.
 
Expended by E.W. Johnson M.D. paints a picture of a society filled with materialistic people who will do everything to further their financial interests, a society where certain people care nothing for human life and are willing to kill as many people as they can in order to achieve their goals. Meacham and Beschloss LLC are exemplified by this. I was disheartened by their mode of operation in the company. The book is short and can be finished in one sitting. I adore the author’s writing style. Some of the dialogue in the book had me laughing out loud. It was evident in the book that the author has a sense of humor.
 
Dr. Nolan is my favorite character in the novel. I applaud how he worked relentlessly to find the exact cause of his patient Betty Sanderson's death, traveling to the mortuary to retrieve her body fluid for a test, hiring individuals to aid him in his inquiry, and covering all expenditures with his own money. Even though Sheriff Dent had warned him not to become involved in other people's issues and to let the dead woman rest in peace, his gut feeling told him she didn't die naturally. The collaboration in the battle to unearth the truth about Betty Sanderson was also impressive.
 
I have no complaints regarding the book. The book has excellent writing and significant concepts that readers will like. The characters have a lot of depth and are likable. The book encourages readers to act morally and to lend a hand whenever possible. We should also take after Dr. Nolan's character, who only cared about changing the world and getting rid of evil. Additionally, since instincts are reliable, it's a good idea to pay attention to them.
 
The book is professionally well edited. I found just one error in it. I rate this engrossing tale five out of five stars. It's a good narrative with plenty of values that readers will learn from. Fans of crime and mystery novels should read this book, in my opinion.

"Expended by E.W.

I agree with the author wholly on this and, sadly, this keeps getting out of hand. Wonderful review, well done.

I love the summary of this novel, and I come to wonder how Nolan intents to solve the crime and catch the culprits.

Dr. Nolan is truly commendable. Wouldn’t it be nice if he left his doctoring job and become a detective?😂. I feel that fits him more better. Who’s now behind her death? Nice review!

Dr. Nolan is an exceptional character. There are a few doctors who would go over and beyond for their patients. This is a huge lesson for doctors out there.

With the way you talked about Dr. Nolan, I'm already loving him. He looks like the character to look out for.

I hope that if I die under suspicious (at least to some) there is someone around like Dr. Nolan to fight for the truth.

A thriller with a doctor / detective trying to get rid of evil seems engaging, also considering that it features well-developed characters and humor. Thank you for your great review!

This physician from this book is most definitely what we need in the world right now, imagine if we had one of him that had these abilities?
