The First Wish of Mr. Murray McBride: A Novel Review: Joe Siple Does It Again! - Joe Siple, you got me again with this prequel learning Murray and his wife Jenny’s love story. I didn’t cry this time, but came close to it, especially as I got towards the end! The First Wish takes place in both 1910 and 1996. In 1910, Murray and Jenny meet while in school; in 1996, it is the day before Jenny is being moved into a memory care center due to her decline with Alzheimer’s. Also in 1996, Jenny is 99-years-old and Murray is 98- years old. They have also been married for just over 80 years. What a life they both have lived! Both 1910 and 1996 are filled with a variety of emotions. I was fully invested in both storylines as I just adored Murray in The Five Wishes and loved reading about Murray and Jenny’s meeting and eventual love story that covers 80 years. The reader also feels emotions with the dealings of Alzheimers/Dementia of both Murray as the caregiver and Jenny as the one suffering from the disease. Siple handles this well. Both timelines deal with a journey to find a treasure that is ‘worth more than gold’. I was intrigued in multiple ways: First, will the treasure even be located? Two, what could be worth more than gold?!?! Chapter 11 through the end really got to me emotionally. What was mentioned was dealing with life throwing you curveballs: 2024 was a year that threw a huge curveball for me, but I am doing much better now in 2025. Many thanks to Joe Siple for bringing these characters to life in this series. This is one reader who really appreciated reading these books. And it is thanks to a book club that I am in for introducing me to The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride. I would not have heard of this book without that book club. Review: AMAZING - I loved the first book, the second was great, BUT the third and final book hit home. I am currently taking care of my husband who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. When I read the dedication of this book, I had second thoughts about going forward. I did, and with many a tear shed. That being said, I LEARNED SOME MUCH from Murray and the hints and tips his Dr suggested. I can’t remember reading such a beautiful story and following the lives of these unique individuals. I believe I will never come across another book that touched me in so many ways. I THANK YOU JOE SIPLE FOR THIS LOVELY STORY AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL WRITING SKILLS. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,225 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #142 in Christian Mystery & Suspense #190 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) #201 in Friendship Fiction (Books) | | Book 3 of 3 | Murray McBride | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (4,581) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.75 x 8.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1454961147 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1454961147 | | Item Weight | 11.9 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 264 pages | | Publication date | March 18, 2025 | | Publisher | Union Square & Co. | ## Images ![The First Wish of Mr. Murray McBride: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81naBRCX61L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joe Siple Does It Again! *by J***E on May 5, 2025* Joe Siple, you got me again with this prequel learning Murray and his wife Jenny’s love story.

The characters are life-like, and the plot is interesting. It does take place Dutton different time periods, but it works because one is as interesting as the other. It even has some suspense, but it isn’t an adverbial. It has an old-fashioned feel to it, but it is contemporary because it features an up-to-date study of Alzheimer’s. Lastly, it is a great emotional read. Read it to smile or cry or both. Well-worth it as a solo read or part of a trilogy by Joe Siple. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/781616389-the-first-wish-of-mr-murray-mcbride-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/781616389-the-first-wish-of-mr-murray-mcbride-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
