When Jake and Sarah are attending a wedding of an brother in arms, they get more fireworks than the wedding itself. Can Jake find the person blowing up boats or will he kill more people?

Jake and Sarah are attending one of Jake’s military buddies wedding and they decide to hire a boat for the weekend, with their trust friend Cody will the trio enjoy a lovely get away or will it end up in disaster.

While in the ceremony they discover that a few of his fellow vets have received death threats and Jake’s sense become alert as he feels that something is not right and that he feels something bad is about to happen, but on the way back to the boat they befriend a couple and walk them back to their boat, within minutes the whole atmosphere changes and Jake is drawn into a murder investigation. Can he find out who is blowing up all these boats, can he locate the bombs with his trust bomb dog Cody or will the killer escape.

This is the first story I have read by this author and I loved it, the twists and turners have you wrestling to uncover who the killer and the bomber is with piecing the clues along the way. I loved that the ne character is a dog and a very intelligent dog, the research that must have gone into the book is fascinating and brilliant to understand these brilliant creatures was absolutely amazing.

I loved the character of Jake and the interaction with his friends was a great read, the banter was a great light relief to a hard hitting storyline and with an excellent and well written story draws you further into the story page by page. I can’t wait to start this series from the beginning, although this can be read as a stand alone story I would like to get to know where Jake and Cody’s bond comes from and how Jake met Sarah and get to understand more that relationship.

Another stellar story by Mark Nolan! In here we visit Key West with Jake, Cody and Sarah. I enjoy reading these stories to see what happens but also to read about the how and the why of Jake. How his brain works and of course I love watching…well err reading about Cody working and even not working.

This story has a lot of action, suspense and food. We get a lot more time with Sarah and Alicia and watch more on the interaction of Jake and Sarah. There are a few pesky bombs and ransoms to deal with as well as all the issues Jake and Cody have with other LEO’s. Which are not a few but always enjoyable as a reader.

After reading the back (it’s almost my favorite part) to see what was made up and what was true. I am amazed at how even the briefest mention of an item and it is mentioned in the back as true. Very detailed of this author. I loved that Jake goes to Key West! I have always wanted to go and it’s great to get some ideas of places to see and visit.

Key West Dead by Mark Nolan a fantastic five-star read. This is number six in the Jake Wolfe series and they could be read as stand-alone but honestly, I would say read them in order as you get the best out of them, you get to know the characters like Jake and Brody who is simply the star of the show to me. The suspense in this story is so tight it will keep you on the ledge, but the suspense isn’t the only part of the story. There is romance and drama and even some funny moments as well, they all make this a compelling and well plotted story. The thing that always strikes my from this author, is the attention to detail, usually when I read about something I know I get put off as they always get something wrong, but this author must spend so long doing research or simply writing what they know, as the detail is so well done.

Jake and Cody be able to hunt down the criminal and stop his bombing spree before he detonates “the big one?” Key West Dead is a wonderful crime novel. Once I started to read it, I couldn’t put it down. Jake and Cody are two wonderful characters that make the story. Step inside a novel that puts you right there.

Key West Dead is the sixth book in the Jake Wolfe series. It can be read as a standalone.
On the whole, this book was pretty good. There were a few places the dialogue wasn’t great, but there was enough suspense to keep things interesting. The one thing that really stood out in this book, now that we are seeing more of the girlfriend, is that their relationship seems forced in places. It doesn’t always seem like a natural flow. As always, the one thing that keeps the story going is Cody. He’s the real star.
Action, danger, suspense, explosions, a car chase… it has some things going for it.

Key West Dead is a gripping tale of an ex-Marine and his ex-wardog Cody, as they sniff out clues to stop a rampaging boat bomber in Key West. Jake (Jukebox) Wolfe, in town for the wedding of his ex-military brother Harlan, unwittingly becomes wrapped up in a series of bombings that result in dozens of murders. Jake and his brothers are loyal as they come, and will not rest until bad guy Orion is stopped and brought to justice. He has a keen sense of danger, and catches whiff of small clues before anyone else can. He is smart and dangerous, and will stop at nothing to track down their cunning villain.

This book is pretty well-written, and I appreciated the details that made Jake’s history, locale, and boating come to life. One thing I found disheartening was that none of the women in this story pass the Bechdel test. Some of the wives of important people seem like they could be interesting, intelligent characters that could add to this plot (our hero’s girlfriend is a veterinarian, for example) but they seem to exist solely to be pretty accessories near their men. I would have liked to see Sarah and Alicia developed a bit more so that the book isn’t entirely dominated by men. All in all though, this is a good crime story of cat-and-mouse, and readers of this genre will likely be engrossed in its plot.

Key West Dead is the sixth book in Mark Nolan’s Jake Wolfe series. This book finds Jake and Cody in Key West, Florida and, as the title suggests, people die. There’s a crime to solve, and the stakes are high as the killer continues planting and detonating bombs.
Cody is a great character, and this is another story where his talented nose is in high demand. We also see Cody, as well as Jake, dealing with their PTSD as well as the ongoing traumatic events. It doesn’t help that what was meant to be a nice, relaxed holiday has turned into a life-threatening case.
It was good to see more of Sarah in this book as well! Although often sent off with friend Alicia while Jake and Cody are investigating, she gets in on the action as well as showing her openness to adventure and skills in handling a boat.
For me, this is a four-star book in an enjoyable series. The Florida setting is fun – made me feel like I was on holiday! I’d recommend the series to mystery and crime fans who like canine characters as much as humans.

Key West Dead (Jake Wolfe Book 6) by Mark Nolan – Review by Gail Guerrero

Four Star

This was not a bad read. Not my favorite from this author. It definitely had potential it just lacked the same thrill his other works gave. The plot was interesting. Someone is targeting yachts and sailboats while demanding money from the government. With the help of his dog Cody will they be able to stop this before more people are harmed, killed and homeless? I really wanted to like it but it was just missing something. I do like Jake he’s a very entertaining character. He has such an amazing sense of justice. Overall the book wasn’t terrible and worth a read. The author has an amazing writing skill.

This is the sixth book in the Jake Wolf series. This is a Crime novel and is 358 pages. This story follows Jake and Cody (his war dog) as they travel to Key West for a wedding. While there, a bomber attempts to kill the newly weds on their boat. His MO is targeting boats and will stop at nothing until he gets the ransom money from the local government. The tourism in the Keys can not take a hit like this as it will destroy their economy. Can Jake and Cody find the bomber?

This is the 6th book in the series and I still love reading about Jake and his dog! The stories are exciting and I really love this authors imagination. I am always engaged from beginning to end. The authors descriptive detail in this story was excellent and I really did feel like I was right there with the characters during parts of the story. I love that the author keeps the suspense going throughout the book, I always feel like I am solving the crimes right along with Jake!
I would definitely recommend this story to other readers and the series.

What a great mystery. Jake and Cody are at it again, only this time they are in Florida keys attending a wedding, when Cody gets the sense something isn’t right, Jake follows Cody’s instincts and it leads them to a homicidal maniac intent on blowing things up. This is full of action and suspense, even some humor. It is all and all a great book.

This is an author I have read every one of the books in this series and have enjoyed from the first to this one. I highly suggest reading this series from the beginning to get to know the character Jake and his dog. He is a strong character that I have enjoyed from the first book and is one of my favorites. This is a story that pulled me in from the beginning by the author’s attention to details. The story has a realistic feel and the characters bring the story to life. Jake is back in another suspenseful story. In this story, he plans on attending a wedding in Key West what he doesn’t expect is that someone has a plan to kill the wedding couple. Will he and Cody be able to find this killer before he executes his plan? I really enjoyed this story and what the characters bring to the story. I highly recommend this book and this author.
