Desperate Remedy is the fifth novel in Mary Kittredge's popular and acclaimed medical mystery series featuring ex-nurse-turned-sleuth Edwina Crusoe. In this novel, Edwina is newly pregnant and feeling a bit queasy as she visits a cantankerous family friend in her old milieu, Chelsea Memorial Hospital. While she's there, a resident doctor and his wife are brought into the emergency room, both shot in separate incidents. The wife dies immediately, but in the night, someone tries to finish the job on the doctor, tampering with his respirator and killing the nurse on duty. Despite her own delicate condition, Edwina is drawn further into a case with very few clues - and into the couple's troubled relationship.
