I don't think you could find a more dysfunctional group of family and friends if you tried!! And little 4 year old Isabela is one smart little lady--a bit too smart for her own good. She is an accomplished Ninja, loves sword play and doing anything for Da Dee--or to protect those around her. Of course being 4 she doesn't really understand what some of the ramifications could be--but in dire circumstances (like when she is caught)-she can play the I'm just a little girl very well. Luckily she takes after her Dad who more or less knows how to handle her--more or less--and he is the only semi sane one in the bunch--but then he is not really from that family.
I read this whole series and thoroughly enjoyed the road--even though I found myself cringing at some of what went on-I mean really. I think I might have been tempted to put a leash on that child and keep her eternally attached--if only for my sanity and her good!!
This third book in the Pajamas Trilogy brings the series to a glorious end.

The Girl in White Pajamas
When Officer Bud the PR face of the Boston Police Department is gunned down, his brother, Bogie McGruder, returns from Palm Beach for the funeral. Since the BPD is investigating the death of one of their own, Bogie believes his trip to Boston will be a short condolence visit and a chance to meet his secret love child.
But interacting with a family fueled by alcohol and mired in scandals, Bogie is reminded why he does investigations for his Boston based company from a computer in Florida. Although Bogie wants to contact his ex-lover, Bailey Hampfield, he’s reluctant to do so since Bailey dumped him four years earlier. Knowing that Bailey had his child after she cut him loose, Bogie ponders how he can establish a relationship with the three year old daughter he’s never met. While he thinks about it, Bailey gets in touch with him and asks for protection. Someone is trying to kill her.
By the time Bogie meets Isabella, it’s apparent that he still loves the mother and adores the child. Bogie tells himself that he’s not interested in the BPD investigation into Bud’s death, but he continues to be drawn into it while trying to discover who is attempting to kill Bailey. The investigations seem to parallel each other, then intersect and become intertwined. As the story develops, Isabella, a precocious child obsessed with martial arts, slowly becomes the focus.
The underlying theme of this mystery is lies. Everyone seems to be running on lies and half truths. The only pure and true character is The Girl in White Pajamas.

Bogie and Walter strengthen their firewalls while they try to determine who is behind the invasion.

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.

About the Author
The Girl in Red Pajamas, the final book in the award-winning mystery trilogy has just been released. This book deals with the question: HOW MANY LIVES CAN THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS DESTROY?
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.

She sounds like bags of fun, although in real life maybe not!
This sounds like a fun series of books. And I do love a good murder mystery :-)
This sounds like it's been an interesting book and series. Children can be interesting enough on their own without being a ninja!
I love reading about how authors get their ideas for books. Thanks for sharing!
I have never heard of this series before. It sounds like a really interesting set of books. I think I would be entertained by them

I read the Girl in the White Pajamas, I need to add the other books in the series to my amazon wish list.
I was thinking I'd give this a pass until I watched the video. I like the twist with the two women being the sister and former girlfriend.

This sounds like an interesting and fun series. I will check this out.
I have to admit I have never seen a trailer for a book series before but I did find it interesting. This does indeed look like an interesting series I will have to read this year. Thanks for the great review.
This series looks interesting, me and my sister would love this.
She does sound pretty naughty! I think the entire series would be worth reading for sure.
I think I am a black pajamas sort of girl :)
Definitely some good books to add to my Kindle. I probably would never have noticed them or picked them up without reading this post, so thanks for sharing.
This looks like a fun book series.
