Relation Toward Books Pink Slips
“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 “Beth Aldrich’s Pink Slips is a psychological thriller that sustains a sense of mystery throughout, told from the point of view of pregnant suburban chef Betsy Ryan. The first-person perspective helps build suspense and heightens the action through the story’s many twists and turns.” ~4-Star Foreword Clarion Reviews “Atmospheric and chilling with a feisty and relatable Every-Mom heroine, Pink Slips will keep you in suspense until the gripping climax.” ~Eve Adamson, nine-time New York Times bestselling collaborator “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 Betsy Ryan is pregnant with her third child, and receiving threatening notes from an anonymous person. During what should be a joyful time in her life, she’s forced to face a decade old memory, and relive one of the most devastating nights of her life To uncover the mystery behind the threats, she enlists the help of an unlikely, but oddly reliable source, her dog Barney. As the menacing notes continue to arrive, her husband is still out of town for work, and she struggles to keep her composure while shielding her two young sons from danger. She trusts no one except her parents, best friend Misty, and her extraordinary dog—who has proven to literally understand everything she says. Is this person out to harm her? And how do they have so much personal information about Betsy? She can’t help but think it’s the same person who attacked her at the train station almost a decade ago, and changed the course of her life forever. To save herself and her unborn child—Betsy must face her fears and find her strength, to reveal who is after her and most importantly…why.Particularize Books Conducive To Pink Slips

It's a 2.5 star. The story is simple, Betsy Ryan is pregnant with her third child, and receiving threatening notes from an anonymous person. During what should be a joyful time in her life, shes forced to face a decade old memory, and relive one of the most devastating nights of her life.The characters are ok.Everyone has got a role to play more than being a character.None of them is complex.There are plenty of red herrings thrown around but it still is not much intriguing. The writer is notA really nice enjoyable thriller that was so nail biting good I zoomed through it not wanting to put it down.
Plain badly written bookI read this book and somehow I am disappointed of myself, that I list the time reading it. Long long time ago I read a book so badly written.... lets say the plot is good, but the megalomania snobbism of the writer is transposed on Betsy, the main character. Who cares what brand is the watch of the main character. Why she has to repeat in almost every chapter, about her kitchen? We got it the first time. The highlight of bad writing is the so called telepathic
Betsy Ryan miscarried during a brutal mugging in the city of Chicago. Ten years later she's heavy pregnant and living in the North Shore 'burbs with her two little boys, her husband who may or may not have a wandering eye, and her awesome doggo, when she begins to receive threatening notes and phone calls.Her stalker is bold and she's an idiot, never a good combination. She also really likes herself, which is fortunate because I hated her. It's difficult to pinpoint when this disaster first
Pretty stupidThe "heroine" of this book is one-dimensional and the plot is equally boring. How a woman could write an entire book about a woman without giving her some depth is beyond me.
Betsy Ryan is pregnant with her third child and her life with her husband, sons and beloved dog Barney seems wonderful. Then she starts to receive pink notes and suddenly, her life is turned upside down. These notes, or pink slips, are threatening and they also show that the sender is extremely knowledgeable about Betsy, her family, and her past. As I watched her work to protect her family and discover the identity of her stalker I was caught up in her fear, her determination and her bravery.
Got an email from BookBub informing me that this was free on a certain day at Amazon, so I snatched it up.
