The Yoshinobu Mysteries: Volume II Summary
| These four mysteries are part of a current twelve volume series. The protagonist is a young, Japanese/American attorney. Her specialty is criminal law, and these cases where she represents individuals charged with or suspected of murder reveal an attorney who is deeply devoted to defending her clients. The setting is mainly Elima, a composite of the Hawaiian Islands where Kay Yoshinobu is practicing criminal law along with her husband Sidney Chu and senior partner Qual Smith.

Craig Thomas, Qual's significant other, is a contributor to the firm's cases in the form of information about some of the marginal activities on Elima and in Honolulu. Leilani Pak is the firm's longtime receptionist/secretary, invaluable in that she seems to be related to most of the island's inhabitants and knows virtually all the other. Homicide Lieutenant Hank DeMello of the Napua Police Department is the sometimes friend, sometimes foe, of Kay and her colleagues. Hank never forgets that his job is to find and arrest criminals. Sergeant Corky Honda shares Hank's views but she is far more prone to provide help to Kay, knowing that the help will be reciprocated. You can expect to find a wide-ranging series of mysteries here, beginning with the life and loves of Smith, Chu and Yoshinobu's newest attorney, Laura Correa. Despite her successful career as a lawyer, Laura is having endless problems with her love life. When she finally finds what seems to be an ideal mate, her world comes crashing down. And then there's the strange settin... |
