John D. Macdonald’s “Travis McGee” novels are perfectly appropriate for 14 year olds, but they might find the depictions of life in Florida in the 60s to 80s dated. No internet, cell phones, etc.

No internet or cell phones? People actually had to go find their own entertainment? Oh the horror....

I saw "Travis McGee's" home at Bahia Mar, visiting my father-in-law in Ft. Lauderdale in 1988. After meeting my spouse face-to-face :-).
