4.0 out of 5 stars Past and present collide in Seattle-area mystery story, April 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dismissed With Prejudice (Mass Market Paperback)

When Tadeo Kurobashi, a respectable Japanese-American businessman, appears in these pages, he is already a corpse. However, the reader gradually learns more about him from the perspective of his loyal friends, sworn enemy, reclusive and mysterious wife, and estranged daughter. Did he commit suicide (hara-kiri) because of impending bankruptcy or was he murdered? Seattle police detective J.P. Beaumont undertakes to find out and to solve intertwining mysteries as well. The story ranges geographically from Seattle to Spokane with a bit of Chicago Mafia mixed in. The past enters in with snippets about occupied Japan after World War II and the detention camps for Japanese-Americans during the war. All-in-all, an engrossing mystery with believable characters. Think I'll try other mysteries by this author and about the J.P. Beaumont character.

This review is from: Dismissed With Prejudice (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a fan of J. A. Jance's Joanne Brady series and was first introduced to Det. Beaumont in Partner's In Crime; however, I first read the majority of the Brady series. Dismissed With Prejudice is only the second book in the Beaumont series that I have read. It was a good, quick and light read. Good beach or airport material as it is easy to put down and come back to.

This review is from: Dismissed With Prejudice (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read many of the books in the J.P. Beaumont series, and while I have enjoyed them all, some more than others, this seemed disjointed to me. It was OK.
