R&B Investigations is under attack. Their employee is shot in the back as he enters the building, and a hacker is trying to compromise their secure network. While the Boston police investigate the shooting, Bogie McGruder needs to find the culprit who is trying to put them out of business.
Bogie and his partner Rose Jones can’t disclose their internet problems to the cops since Bogie is a hacker himself.
Bogie McGruder returns to Boston with his four- year-old daughter Isabella. He joins up with Rose Jones’ uncle Walter who is fresh for Lompoc Prison. Bogie and Walter strengthen their firewalls while they try to determine who is behind the invasion. As the R&B team hones in on the culprit, they uncover several murders and discover a plot to wipe out the financial institutions in Boston.
While Bogie is in Boston, his extended family in Palm Beach becomes enmeshed in a sex scandal that threatens to ruin lives and careers in the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office.
Feeling like a wishbone about to snap, Bogie tries to handle problems in both cities while Isabella continues her quest for someone to teach her the Five-Point-Palm-Exploding-Heart technique as seen in Kill Bill Volume 2.
This tale of murder, revenge and greed takes the reader on a whirlwind trip from Boston to Palm Beach and back. Buckle your seatbelt!

About the Author

I am the author of the Pajama series. The Girl in Black Pajamas is the second book in the series. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After graduating from high school, I did a four year stint in the Middle East. When I returned to the States, I settled down in the Boston area and became a true Bostonian by collecting college degrees while raising my family. For more than twenty years, I did investigative work for Boston law firms. Being an avid mystery fan made me either fearless or foolhardy while working in rough neighborhoods and housing projects. I know how it feels to have a gun stuck to the back of my head...and that was in a courtroom. I know how it feels to have an angry client walk in my office and point a small gun at me saying, "I want my money!" That was when I opened my desk drawer, removed a large gun and drew back the slide while aiming it at him. "Have a seat!" I said. There is no substitute for experience. I live outside of Boston with my husband. We also have a place in Palm Beach where we escape to hide from the snow.

The Girl in Red Pajamas, the final book in the award-winning mystery trilogy has just won the FALL 2015 PINNACLE BOOK ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. This book deals with the question: HOW MANY LIVES CAN THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS DESTROY?

It is now a Trifecta - all three books in the trilogy have received awards.

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.

A really great off-beat murder mystery

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Girl in the Black Pajamas is the second book in the series. Bogie and Bailey are married, living in South Florida when Bogie’s partner in Boston is shot. He goes to Boston to investigate and brings precocious Isabella with him. Bailey, at home, holds down the fort with baby Hankster and Amanda. The drama goes back and forth keeping the reader on cue.

I enjoyed the first book enough to read the second which I enjoyed even more. Bailey seems to have matured. In the first bookshe was whiny and annoying in this book she’s a two time mommy and down to earth and take charge. I loved that side of her. Isabella is just as much a handful and I won’t lie at times a little scary. She’s far too smart for her age and very manipulative. At the same time she’s a four year old girl. Bogie is Bogie.

Birdy’s writing in this book seemed more plot focused and was easy to follow along. The story has a good flow and the suspense factor kept me turning pages. This is a really great off-beat murder mystery. I highly recommend it!

Isabella rises to meet all challenges

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015

Story is good but has several subplots with numerous characters so at times it can be a challenge keeping the characters straight as to which plot they belong to in the story. Author uses a young child as a super hero which wouldn't be my first choice but the story is entertaining.

Part crime thriller, part mystery, and wholly full-on adventure

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2015

The Girl in Black Pajamas is part crime thriller, part mystery, and wholly full-on adventure. It is effectively comprised of two related stories that race along their meandering paths.

The main character, holding the various strands of the story together, is Bogie, a hacker. He flies to his 'agency's' headquarters in Boston to help solve the mystery of why one of their employees was shot and his IT system breached. Joining forces with a convicted felon and his team, Bogie attempts to understand what his enemy has planned before he and his friends become the next targets. Throw in a missing laptop, some suspicious cops, a hacker nemesis and a number of back stories, and the action doesn't let up.

Accompanying Bogie on his trip to Boston is his 4-year-old, genius daughter, Isabella. She aspires to learn the Five-Point-Palm-Exploding-Heart-Technique from Kill Bill 2, and keeps Bogie and his colleagues entertained with her witticisms and innocent view of the world. She inadvertently prevents the murder of her father on the flight, but will she be able to do it again?

Holding the fort at home in Florida is Bogie's pregnant wife, Bailey, who is left to look after a troop of three: her and Bogie's baby son, Bogie's elder daughter, Amanda, and Bogie's granddaughter. This is made harder by the fact that Amanda's shopaholicism and inability to deal with her infant leads to her husband leaving her and her friends trying to entice her to make porn movies with them. But why is her husband being targeted by his ruthless police colleagues?

Overall, the book's writing style took a while to get used to, with its frequent changes of point of view and quick jumps from one scene to the next. The action was constant and didn't let up, jumping from fights between families to car chases to murder attempts between Boston and Florida.

I haven't read The Girl in White Pajamas, and this may have hampered my ability to warm to the large cast and their complex back stories. But the characters, besides being plentiful, were certainly colourful and the one thing that this book could not be accused of being is boring.

*I received a free copy from the author in return for an honest review.

This mystery novel is a real page turner.

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

This mystery novel is a real page turner. I started reading this book last week and could not put it down until the end. The book gets you into the action right away, with a murder on the first page. Good action scenes, plot twists, and dialogue. The author, Chris Birdy, did private investigative work for many years, and the atmosphere she creates in the novel rings true because of that experience. I liked Bogie McGruder, the main character in the book, and also his business partner Rose. Another cool character is Bogie's 4 year old daughter Isabella. If you like murder mysteries, you will really like this book.
