"Aldrich's book delivers a solidly structured and detail-filled plot that starts with a skillful, early buildup of suspense. Like an Agatha Christie novel, the novel makes efficient use of misdirection while adding several suspicious suspects to the mix. The Characters are vividly drawn and believable. The story features an appealing and creative narrative voice." BlueInk Review

"Not since Rosemary's Baby has a book revealed how vulnerable women are when pregnant... Aldrich has Raymond Chandler's (The Lady in the Lake) gift for portraying violent scenes, but has a woman's insight into the especially serious consequences it could have for pregnant women." 5-Star, Indie Reader Review

"Atmospheric and chilling with a feisty and relatable EveryMom heroine, Pink Slips will keep you in suspense until the gripping climax." Eve Adamson, nine-time New York Times bestselling collaborator
