Lost Truth

Review – Desperate Measures

August 31, 2015 By The Suspense Zone

Sandra Orchard in her new book, “Desperate Measures” Book Three in the Port Aster Secrets series  published by Revell gives us another adventure with Kate Adams and Tom Parker.

From the Back Cover: Kate won’t be safe until all of Port Aster’s secrets are revealed

Researcher Kate Adams has finally pinpointed the supposed “miracle plant” that tore apart her family years ago. She’s certain that discovering its secrets is her only hope of solving the mystery surrounding her father’s disappearance. She’s willing to risk anything to find the truth, including her relationship with Detective Tom Parker. But with so many people in pursuit of the plant, going it alone might be a fatal mistake.

Award-winning author Sandra Orchard pulls out all the stops in this breakneck and breathtaking conclusion to the Port Aster Secrets series.

Detective Tom Parker and Researcher Kate Adams have a budding relationship and the last thing they need to do is keep secrets from each other however. There are a lot of secrets in the town of Port Aster except for “The Plant”. Lots of people seem to know about this plant which should be a secret. Good guys and bad guys are revealed and almost always it is a surprise which is which. Despite their secrets from each other Kate and Tom team up once again to finally uncover all the secrets hiding in Port Aster.  Ms. Orchard has delivered us a story that is loaded with action, suspense, romance, intrigue, danger and drama. It will keep you flipping pages as you try to keep up with everything that is happening. I am sorry to see this series end but I am looking forward to the next book from this very talented author.
