I've long been a fan of the "Fletch" movies (not to mention Chevy Chase), but it was only recently I discovered that these were based on a series of novels by Gregory McDonald. "Fletch Won" is the first of these I've read, and it doesn't disappoint. Once you begin reading, you'll see that the mov...
This is the last outing with Fletch…and his son. The Fletch series starts with back to back bangs--full-on 5-star books. The rest of the series provides a great ride along with Fletch and the crazy characters that he collected along the way. The last few books were technically about his son Ja...
Ever since F.X. Flynn made his first appearance in Confess, Fletch, matching wits with the inimitable Irwin Fletcher, he has befuddled, infuriated, and amazed his colleagues on the Boston Police force while in pursuit of blackmailers, murderers, embezzlers, politicians, and, occasionally, his fel...
Yet another tale in which Fletch gets fired for writing a piece about some industrial group for his newspaper in which he quotes memos from the dead chairperson. The person being dead for close to a year. Fletch being Fletch does the nice thing and goes in person to visit all possible relatives t...
I was very disappointed by this book. As it's the last in the Flynn series I was hoping for a strong finish but alas that didn't happen. It seemed to me that what I really became interested in with the character Flynn in the first book slowly dissipated during the next three, until we get to this...
"C.I.A., Mister Fletcher.""Um. Would you mind spelling that?"And so starts the story of thirdly written Fletch novel in which I.M. Fletch is once again let loose on a world that does deserve his kind of craziness, but in a wholesome way I mean!When the story starts Fletch returns from a beach in ...
I picked it up because I'd read it several times before and liked it a lot (which is why my very old copy is still with me). Flynn, a big Irishman with numerous very intelligent children and a very intelligent wife, has worked for years for a nameless, borderless super-intelligence organization....

And it took him no time to hook up with the luscious Laura Soares. Fletch is beginning to relax, just a little.Carioca FletchBut b...
I've been plowing through the Fletch series in published order rather than chronological order, which means the final volumes will skip back to earlier times in Fletch's life. So far, this is my third favorite Fletch story--clearly Fletch and Confess, Fletch are the best in the series. It was int...
OK, OK, I admit it, I love the Chevy Chase movie about the Fletch character and until today I had never read any of the books that inspired it. So what prompted me to jump in at book 5 rather than start at the award winning beginning? For some reason a colleague marked it as a $1 book and I could...
3.75 stars - First of two "Jack" tales that bring us back into the life of I. M. Fletcher(view spoiler)[…this time in the company of a son that he did not know existed (hide spoiler)]
He looked at it incredulously. He had just entered his room. He grabbed up the receiver. “Thank you for calling.” From the other end of the telephone connection came difficult breathing, the wet sound of blubbering, and what was most likely a woman’s voice saying something about “Inspector Flynn....
