Order of Matt Royal Books
The Matt Royal Mystery series is a mystery/thriller series by American novelist H. Terrell Griffin. The titular character is a trial lawyer who went into early retirement to spend his days on the beautiful beaches of Florida, in his hometown of Longboat Key. This doesn’t mean that Matt is done with trouble though, as trouble still seems to find Matt Royal. John D. MacDonald is an obvious inspiration of Griffin’s, as one reviewer described Royal as “Travis McGee with a law degree.”
H. Terrell Griffin debuted his Matthew Royal character with his own debut, in the novel Longboat Blues. The novel was published in November of 2005. The series is currently ongoing, at a pace of approximately one book per year. Below is a list of H. Terrell Griffin’s Matt Royal books in order of when they were first released (which is the same as their chronological order):
