About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, classic 80s mystery-adventure with humor, friendship, and a sunny Hawaii vibe, similar to The Rockford Files; not for you if you need fast, modern pacing or gritty realism.

Pros: fun Hawaii escape; witty banter; likable flawed hero | Cons: slow pace at times; dated style; predictable cases
