***MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE GIRL IN BLACK PAJAMAS***

When Bogie gets a call from Rose, his partner in Boston, he is shocked to hear that Tommy, a friend and employee had been shot. Bogie and Rose are owners of R&B Investigations. They suspect that someone is attempting to hack their secure network, so it is vital that Bogie get to Boston ASAP. While making plans to fly there, he discovers that his wife Bailey is pregnant with their third child. Knowing that it would be too stressful on her with a precocious four-year-old and an infant, on top of her pregnancy, he decides to take Isabella, the four-year-old, with him.

Once there, he realizes they need help. So they bring in Walter, Rose’s uncle, who’s fresh out of prison for cyber hacking. In the meantime, Isabella, loving karate so much, has graduated from a white outfit to a black one. And as always, she is right in the middle of the action. Don’t let her age fool you. She is so much more intelligent than that.

I was exhausted just reading about her. I can’t imagine keeping up with her and a one-year-old together. I believe she should have been punished for wrong-doing longer than she was, but I can understand them letting her get away with stuff. What parent hasn’t? That little girl is going to be another Amanda, but in a totally different way. And I loved the way the baby was always called the Hankster. That was so cute. I’m ready for book 3.

The Girl in White Pajamas

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

Chris Birdy was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After graduating from high school, she did a four year stint in the Middle East. When she returned to the States, Chris settled down in the Boston area and became a true Bostonian by collecting college degrees while raising a family.

For more than twenty years, Chris has been a member of the legal community performing investigative work for Boston law firms conducting business in rough housing projects and crack house neighborhoods. Several years ago, while sitting in a courtroom with a client, Chris 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.." Chris 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 were planted in that courtroom.

Chris lives outside of Boston and in Palm Beach, Florida with her husband.
