Once again, author/lawyer Aplin shows the kind of imagination and savvy that is sure to delight readers." - Attorney Steve Womack, reviewing Powder River Poison, a Mary MacIntosh novel, Amazon.com

"This book is one of the few gems that you look for when you want a good read. Once you pick this book up, you simply can't put it down. I have read many thriller & horror novels, but this one is unique in so many ways! The author adds so many elements that our society is used to gobbling down - the depravity of orphanages & the atrocities in some international ones, the soul-lessness of abused children & what they sometimes grow up into, the concerns of terrorism by toxic means . . ." - Attorney Margaret Lopez Erpenbeck, reviewing Pandemic Predator, a Mary MacIntosh novel, Amazon.com
