Murder on Mokulua Drive : a Natalie Seachrist Hawaiian mystery
(Book)

"Journalist Natalie Seachrist sometimes experiences visions. After envisioning a child escaping by boat from Denmark in a murky predawn, she has no idea how scenes from a World War II movie will impact her twenty-first century life in hawaii. Soon, she and boyfriend, private-investigator Keoni Hewitt, move into the Lanikai cottage she recently inherited. The warm welcome they receive from Miriam Didion, a widowed human rights activist, sets an ideal tone for life in the seaside neighborhood. Unfortunately, their expectations are soon shattered. By the time Natalie throws Keoni a birthday party, she has become close to Miriam and her housemates Joanne and Izzy. Even Natalie's feline companion Miss Una embraces the women by keeping watch over their property at night. Abruptly, everyone's life changes when a body is found at Miriam's home." --,(Source of summary not specified)
