Chris Birdy is the award winning author of the Pajama series. The books are adult, murder mysteries primarily set in the Boston area.
Chris 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, she settled down on the South Shore and collected college degrees while raising her family.
For more than twenty-five years, Chris did investigative work for Boston law firms. She worked on cases from beginning to end in her Boston office; but more often than not, she met with clients and witnesses in tough neighborhoods and housing projects. Many of the stories in her books are based on incidents that happened during that time.

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!
