In The Girl in Red Pajamas, the third book in the Pajama Trilogy by
author Chris Birdy, the reader is again pulled deeply into the lives of
Bodie McGruder and his family, especially that of his enigmatic daughter,
Isabella. Bodie's sister, Ann, has been accused of the murder of Delores
Peabody, Bodie's old girlfriend. The whole family's lives have been flipped
upside down, and Bodie feels a responsibility to figure out what really
happened. He's sure his sister isn't guilty of murder. Throw in the antics
of his highly unique and intelligent daughter, Isabella, and you have one
very intriguing read.
I loved this book. Loved. It. I'm not sure what else to say, except that
author Chris Birdy is definitely a writer to watch. Her ability to create
interesting characters that the reader will continue to think about long
after the book is finished is certainly a testament to her amazing writing
skills. Once I started reading this book, I simply could not put it down until
I got to the very last page. The Girl in Red Pajamas is exciting,
suspenseful, and just an excellent mystery. It was awesome to find a
mystery that I hadn't figured out a quarter of the way through. This book
would appeal to any reader who loves mysteries, thrillers, suspense, or
just a great read with great characters. I recommend The Girl in Red
Pajamas, and I am so looking forward to seeing what author Chris Birdy
has in store for her readers next!
