The Girl in Red Pajamas is a C/T/M/H fiction novel by Chris Birdy consisting of 346 pages. Although this novel is the third within Chris Birdy's Murder Mystery series, it is easy to follow without reading the previous two books. Its plot follows a variety of families each complexly interlinked as they collectively face a cumulation of things; disappointment, love, hate, heartbreak, suspicion among many others. Each of these aspects kept me permanently enthralled throughout my reading.

The book begins revolving around an older lesbian couple, Dolores and Ann. One could easily argue that their relationship was a bit unethical with Dolores living off of Ann to support her family financially whilst Ann longed for a sincere relationship after her complicated history with love. Shortly into the story, Dolores is discovered dead inside the boot of the other's car, resulting in accusations flying around in an attempt to find the killer. In the aftermath of the deceased's passing, it becomes apparent that some of Dolores' family members do not care for the murder's identity to be exposed.

Bogie McGruder, Ann's brother, who once partook in a heterosexual relationship with Dolores, becomes invested in the ongoing investigation. Perhaps as a result of his previous affiliation with the deceased, he desires an answer to the question of Dolores' killer which results in him committing every humanly possible action in an attempt discover the answer to his burning question, "who killed Dolores?"

Throughout the novel, I came across various profanities, which, as a result, provided the book with a more realistic atmosphere, allowing each scene to be perfectly illustrated. There were some erotic scenes included which I'll rate a 2/5.

Chris Birdy used an extensive vocabulary which effectively conveyed a universally clear image of the book's plot. The lexicon used by Chris Birdy made the book seem both simple yet sophisticated.

I, for one, think that The Girl in Red Pajamas is a book capable of most people's understanding and love unless you are against the use of profanities and the appearance of erotic scenes. The book is noticeably well-edited with little to no typos or errors. I, therefore, give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

As an extra treat, there is even a bonus read at the end titled, "A new short story" for readers to enjoy. Enjoy!
