Pink Slips Book Trailer
A taut yet expansive mystery thriller, Pink Slips introduces a powerful new literary voice to a genre steeped in mediocrity. It’s a genre which continues to evolve and there is a definite feeling of reinvention which Aldrich has certainly leveraged to deliver a top-notch narrative. Suspenseful with the kind of razor edge prose which should be mandatory for a mystery thriller it’s a novel that’s dependent upon the reversal of expectations with Aldrich introducing sublime twists that are sure to keep her readers on tenterhooks throughout. Yes, much-favored tropes are evident but she never relies on them whilst a cleverly constructed plot comfortably manages to stay ahead of her readers at all times. Describing it in detail would ruin a cracking denouement that packs a powerful punch, but suffice to say there is more than enough here to keep the most demanding of genre fans turning its pages. It would, however, be disingenuous not to explore character development which is something Aldrich naturally excels at. Grounded with real world personas they are not only vividly rendered but provide genuine insight into Betsy Ryan’s life and intensely articulate the chilling sense of vulnerability that envelopes her as events unfold.*Top notch storytelling and an exceptional fiction debut, Pink Slips proves a must read and one that raises high expectation for future releases from Aldrich. It is recommended without reservation.
