A review of "The Girl in Red Pajamas" by Chris Berdy.

So much is happening to Bogie McGruder's family. When his sister Ann is accused of killing her lesbian lover, Dolores,Bogie believes she is innocent. He feels compelled to find out the truth about the death of his ex girlfriend. His whole family's lives get dusrupted.His 4 year old daughter,Isabella helps solve the case.Her mother is not happy about it but that doesn't stop Isabella .She is a martial arts student,good with computers and too intelligent for her age. She is confident and her passion is desirable. Throw in the family drama and you have yourself a fantastic read.

I loved reading this book. It is immensely thought provoking and the characters are superb and well explained. The supporting characters are also believable and multilayered. The ability of the writer to create characters that will still be on your mind even after finishing the book is amazing. I couldn't bring myself to put the book down and when forced to I got back to reading it as soon as I could.The girl in red Pajamas is an exciting book and a perfect mystery. I was delighted to find a mystery that I hadn't figured out quarter way through the book.

Family and religion are important aspects of the book. Bogie's family is one big happy family,even when they have differences they always find a way around them. Although his family isn't religious, Dolores family is. The christians in the book have a twisted way of expressing their religion. Chris Derby's idea is not to discourage Christianity, although there's some characters who try and force others to convert,this book doesn't change the point of view of one's religion.

The story had no sex scenes and I didn't encounter any profane language either. The book revolves around lives of children and the writer made sure to keep the lives of those kids innocent.

There were no grammatical or punctuation errors. This allowed me to have an undistracted read. Therefore,The girl in red pajamas achieves a perfect rating, four out of four stars.

I'd encourage readers who love mysteries and thrillers to read this book. It has a murder scene and instances of torture but it's a good book overall. I wouldn't advice children to read the book but young adults and grown ups should definitely get a copy of Chris Derby's, The girl in red pajamas.

I'm impressed by the fact that the author has created "immortal" characters, who live in our minds past the last page.
Thank you for the review.

Christianity and intrigue always catches my eye. Thank you for this review, the title did not grab me but this sure did!

I'm glad about the solid character development and the intrigue plus family drama in this book. It will definitely be a great read for me. Thanks for the interesting review

[Laura Lee]

Thanks for an interesting review! As someone who loves mysteries, what really impressed me was your comment that it was well written enough that you couldn't already solve the mystery early in the book. That's a great endorsement!

This seems like an intriguing read. I am puzzled by the author's choice of cover art. You mention in the review that there are no sex scenes but there are two naked people embracing on the cover. This just makes me want to read it in order to find out the author's intention behind the cover art. Thank you for your review.

You will definitely enjoy the book

[Rayasaurus]

This premise is interesting to me. That's a lot of death to be affecting one family all at one time, and the idea of the daughter helping to solve a murder mystery is entertaining. I might pick this one up! Thanks for the review.

[Letora]

The four-year-old helps solve the mystery? Now that is interesting. I would love to read how Isabella helped. Thank you for your review!

[Ria710]

Thank you for your honest review. This book has such an interesting story. I can’t wait to read it.

[Connie Otwani]

The story had no sex scenes and I didn't encounter any profane language either. The book revolves around lives of children and the writer made sure to keep the lives of those kids innocent.

We shouldn't judge a book by the cover literally! I had imagined it was all romance! I love mysteries that are not so obvious to solve. This sounds like a winner. Great review!

[Nisha Ward]

I can only imagine the issues caused by Dolores' family, but it's great that they don't affect the kids. It sounds like an interesting mystery too.

Thanks for such a thoughtful review. I like that you mention the religious aspect as it seems important. I love it when a character stays with me, almost like an old friend. I never turn down a mystery, so this is going on my shelves to read soon.
