My review
A fun filled murder mystery with a laugh along the way, The Girl in Red Pajamas is a must read. From the get go a murder in a Boston restaurant gets the pages turning and you just can’t stop turning to the next. You aren’t just taken on a murder mystery, but through darkened secrets being uncovered , an unlikely love interest , and somewhere along the way justice is set to be served. Through ups and down, laughs and confrontations, you’re on the edge of your seat trying to figure out who’s really the culprit. One murder has lead the story through many lives, and you don’t know where things will end up next.
I loved that just when I thought things would be uncovered and go as planned, it went the complete opposite ( or did it!?) . It kept a good solid pace and didn’t disappoint. Who was the real murderer? And will all the secrets being uncovered frame the wrong person? Or will true justice be served? You won’t know until you pick it up!
Chris Birdy has done an incredible job with this story! I have not gotten the chance to read the other books in the series, and it would probably be best if done .There are so many wonderful characters to get to know, and they seem so well formed I bet through the other stories they had grown over the time and events throughout the book. I enjoy reading and being able to see characters grow through each page turn, you get such a better feel for them and really start to know each person. This is the third book in the series, and it seems like everyone is so well fitted I have missed some great read in the first two books.
If you enjoy a great mystery, a good laugh and a near good cry, you’ll want to pick up The Pajama Series by Chris Birdy. If the previous two are anything like the first two they are a must read. Great mystery, a little thrill, lots of fun and it’ll put a smile on your face. Check out the other books below.

When Officer Bud the PR face of the Boston Police Department is gunned down, his brother, Bogie McGruder, returns from Palm Beach for the funeral. Since the BPD is investigating the death of one of their own, Bogie believes his trip to Boston will be a short condolence visit and a chance to meet his secret love child.
But interacting with a family fueled by alcohol and mired in scandals, Bogie is reminded why he does investigations for his Boston based company from a computer in Florida. Although Bogie wants to contact his ex-lover, Bailey Hampfield, he’s reluctant to do so since Bailey dumped him four years earlier. Knowing that Bailey had his child after she cut him loose, Bogie ponders how he can establish a relationship with the three year old daughter he’s never met. While he thinks about it, Bailey gets in touch with him and asks for protection. Someone is trying to kill her.
By the time Bogie meets Isabella, it’s apparent that he still loves the mother and adores the child. Bogie tells himself that he’s not interested in the BPD investigation into Bud’s death, but he continues to be drawn into it while trying to discover who is attempting to kill Bailey. The investigations seem to parallel each other, then intersect and become intertwined. As the story develops, Isabella, a precocious child obsessed with martial arts, slowly becomes the focus.
The underlying theme of this mystery is lies. Everyone seems to be running on lies and half truths. The only pure and true character is The Girl in White Pajamas.

About the Author
The Girl in Red Pajamas, the final book in the award-winning mystery trilogy has just been released. This book deals with the question: HOW MANY LIVES CAN THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS DESTROY?
Background: For almost twenty-five years, I did investigative work for small law firms conducting business in rough housing projects and crack house neighborhoods. I met with clients in every jail in the area even the now defunct Charles Street Jail and Deer Island House of Corrections. On good days, I got to take the .25 caliber handgun out of my pocket and the 9mm out of my purse and go to court. Then the real show began!
Several years ago, while sitting in a courtroom with a client, I watched as a police officer was lambasted by an attorney. The attorney was defending a young woman who crashed her car into two other vehicles before she passed out drunk behind the wheel. The occupants of the other cars were seriously hurt and the cop, a former EMT, tried to assist the injured while waiting for ambulances to arrive. The attorney questioned the cop’s every move, shredded his testimony and made him seem inept.
Embarrassed, the cop returned to his seat beside me and muttered, “Everybody lies. The judges lie, the lawyers lie, the witnesses lie..” I wanted to tell him not to worry that in about five years he’d be just as good a liar as they were.
The seeds for The Girl in White Pajamas (the first book in the series) were planted in that courtroom.
