A review by hazelbright
Desperate Measures by Kate Wilhelm

4.0

Perception and its influence on instant judgment of character form the theme here. While the story build is great for the recurring characters, I did not buy the who that dunit.

Spoiler

The abused wife finally kills the zealot husband, fair enough, but I do not see her spending her entire life protecting her kids from her husband just to kill herself and leave them orphans.

I would have liked to buy it, it was a neat ending, but it was awfully contrived.
