Posted: January 8, 2020
COPPER AND GOLDIE written by Rosemary and Larry Mild is a sweet mystery novel with thirteen short stories about a Hawai’ian detective with a golden retriever that is his sidekick. I love each story along with the main characters. The four-legged one is my favorite! You can’t help but to fall in love with Goldie who comes to save him in more ways than one.
Sam Nahoe is a homicide detective that loves his job. He would do anything to protect and serve and put his life on the line for anyone. In the process of doing that one day, he takes a bullet in the spine that ends up costing him the career he loves so dearly. With his marriage taking the toll of the sadness he is feeling he takes on a new career as a cab driver with a golden retriever Goldie who also helps him with his side job as a private investigator.
A great book to pick up for with heartwarming mysteries that all tell one story. You will love how it ends leaving you with warm fuzzies. COPPER AND GOLDIE by Rosemary and Larry Mild is an endearing mystery with the setting in Hawai’i. This is the first mystery I read with Honolulu as the location of the crime. This was refreshing for a mystery. Why do crimes have to always happen in dull busy cities? The Milds did an amazing job with this one. It would be great to read more and see what else Sam and Goldie might do.
Book Summary
Homicide detective Sam Nahoe takes a bullet in his spine in the line of duty. Disabled, his career with the Honolulu Police Department shattered, what now? Jobless, lonely, and unwillingly divorced, Sam becomes a Checker Cab driver. Seeking a partner, he adopts a rescue golden retriever—with a touch of Doberman, and trains her to perform neat tricks like growling at a fare who doesn’t tip. He and Goldie cruise O‘ahu for kidnappers, and vengeful wives. Even killers, compelling Sam to get his private investigator license.
His Sunday visitations with his daughter, Peggy, can turn a magical park day into a hair-raising crime scene, but his shrewd little kid becomes a miniature sleuth in her own right.
Sam’s Hawai‘ian heritage provides him with spunk and street smarts. He hobbles around on two canes, named Cane and Able, as he orders Goldie to chase bad guys. His favorite snitch, card-sharp Sophie, asks him: “You still walkin’ with them giant chopsticks?”
Thirteen individual and complete Hawai‘ian detective mysteries featuring a disabled ex-cop turned cab driver, who, with his golden retriever sidekick, takes on the criminal side of Honolulu.
