Florida Keys Adventure #17
Menace in the Keys
A mysterious group of modern-day pirates has descended upon the Florida Keys…
Like buccaneers of old, the violent outlaws strike fast, hard, and without mercy. Stealing and pillaging whatever they can. But unlike bygone swashbucklers, the cunning criminals utilize advanced modern technology and bribes to fuel their vast, intricate, well-oiled operation.
When an attack strikes close to home and results in the death of a local, former Navy SEAL Logan Dodge can no longer turn a blind eye to the mayhem. Going on the offensive, Logan finds himself pitted against the deadly array of lowlifes who threaten not just his family and friends, but the fate of the entire island chain.
Evil is rampant, and Logan Dodge is on the hunt in this action-packed, high-octane, explosive adventure in the Florida Keys. Regardless of who comes out on top, one thing’s certain: life in the Conch Republic will never be the same.

This was my first book in this series and by this author and I’m excited to read more!!

Logan, Ange, Scarlett, Jack, Lauren, Pete, Jane, and Atticus are back! This series is one of my guilty pleasures, and I thoroughly enjoyed this latest addition. Pirates are attacking the coast, and they made the mistake of getting close to Logan and Ange Dodge, and they learned to regret it. I don't know if Logan Dodge is the baddest man out there, but he is close -- and he has a couple of secret weapons. If you like the action-adventure-thriller genre, you need to add this series to your list of those to be read. I read this one the first day it was released, and I am ready for the next one!

Logan is asked to find the killer(s) of a local pet shop owner who was attacked & robbed of his outboard motors while out with his grandchildren in the Keys. The family is friends with his pal bar owner Pete.
Seems much of Florida can't get any traction into the case. Logan, Ange, Scarlett, Jack and the Sheriff join forces to track down the killers who have gotten away with millions in motors and have killed others along the way. Wouldn't you know, Mayor Nix is involved!
It's a fast paced storyline but it seems a bit odd that Logan is the only one in the state of Florida to crack the case.
This series is a light read and entertaining.

Pursuit In The Keys
Another great Matthew Rief novel. Love his writing style and love the Keys setting. As with all his previous books I've read, he grabs your attention from the beginning and takes for a ride with many twists and turns. I highly recommend this or any of Matthew Rief's books.

A fun read
Enjoyed this book. It was refreshing to see how the characters are maturing and growing up. The story has a unique plot I am not sure I have heard or read about boat motor thieves.

Great story?
It's seldom that I read a book that's a real "page turner" but this book was. I enjoyed the story presented by Matthew Rief. I've read the previous 16 books by this author and hope those to the end are as exciting.

This series gets better and better, especially with the addition of new characters. Anxiously awaiting book #18 to keep up with the Logan Dodge family and friends.

Love these books
All of his "in the keys" books are good reads. They are fiction but accurate depictions of the old town and its many treasures. Makes me feel like I'm there.

Keys Menace
An exciting story. I couldn't guess the mastermind of the criminal group. A gripping tale of kidnapping, attempted murder, thievery, and suspense.

Another great Logan Dodge adventure
Another great Logan Dodge and his family. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Also, will Key West have a mayor with a hook for a hand and a parrot on his shoulder?
