Review of Desperate Measures by Sandra Orchard

Nutshell: Kate Adams is still on the hunt for who tried to kill her dad and what the big secret is about the plants she is harboring in her basement. Book 3 in the Port Aster Series concludes the journey of researcher Kate Adams, but not without a price on her life. Journey with Kate as she unravels the mystery of her past, her present and her future.

Pro's: Full of suspense and mystery. The author does a good job of keeping you wondering who is after Kate and why the plants she's keeping secret are so important.

Con's: A lot of "what if's". I know detectives are supposed to look at all angles, but it was hard to get past the scenarios flying around throughout the book. There were several characters that were hard to keep in place and to whom they worked for. It would have helped to re-read the 2nd book again to freshen up the plot and what was going on as it was hard to piece the plot together.

Recommendation: This is not a stand-alone book. It would be advantageous to read the first two books before reading this one. It's a great mystery and suspense book if you are inclined to that type of genre.
