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....

My kids always get a kick out of the primitive technology in "Magnum, P.I.," which was shot in the late 70's/early 80's.

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 :-).

Whaaat? I had internet access in 1974! (Well it was DARPANET then and I didn't know what to do with it. After '76 I was cut off, other than BBSes, until I got Usenet in '85.)
