Fletch's Fortune is a Winner,
By
This review is from: Fletch's Fortune (Paperback)
Another great book in the Fletch series. Fletch's failure to pay income taxes forces him to spy on his fellow jounralists. Of course, there is a dead body and Fletch has an investigation to pursue. Great dialogue, a true treat for Fletch fans.

fond of Fletch,
By "sandishor4" (ft. lauderdale) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fletch's Fortune (Paperback)
If you liked the Fletch movies you will undoubtedly enjoy this read. I recently discovered this book and was so excited to find an entire series of "Fletch" books written in the seventies.The book reads just like the movies with the same clever dialogue. Pure fluffy fun.

the funniest Fletch,
By wisdomstar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fletch's Fortune (Paperback)
Fletch is irreverent, clever, a tarnished white knight. In this mystery, he's in trouble with a lot of people, but you know that he'll turn the tables on all of them in the end. With the help of another reporter, a character that's as funny as he is, Fletch saves the day once more. A book that will make your family wonder why you are laughing out loud all by yourself. Highly recommended.

Convention of Death,
By Nash Black "Troubadour" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fletch's Fortune (Paperback)
The CIA will go to any lengths of obtain information on members of the fourth estate. Fletch is blackmailed to bug a convention of his fellow journalists with treats of jail time for not paying income taxes.
Before Fletch arrives in Virginia Walter Marsh, president of the American Journalism Alliance. The grand old man is not the beloved patriarch as portrayed by his grieving spouse. Fletch discovers many of his colleagues have had their careers destroy or hampered by the power Marsh exerts on the industry. The ending of this one is unpredictable, but it lacks the sparkle of the first two for which McDonald won Edgar awards. FLETCH'S FORTUNE is still a good read. Nash Black, author of QUALIFYING LAPS.

Another winner from Gregory Mcdonald,
By Chris Well - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fletch's Fortune (Paperback)
Irwin Maurice Fletcher, everyone's favorite independently wealthy journalist, con artist, author, art researcher, and sleuth (not necessarily in that order), once again finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place -- this time the "rock" being the CIA, the IRS, and the threat of prison for tax evasion ... and the "hard place" being a national journalism convention at which Fletch has been forced to spy on his former colleagues. Things only get more complicated when prominent publisher Walter March is found lying face up with a pair of scissors in his back -- and all the conventioneers are trying to beat the police to the scoop. The third volume in Gregory Mcdonald's delightful Fletch series, Fletch's Fortune is as fresh and engaging as the two Edgar Award-winning novels that preceded it. Mcdonald's excellent storytelling skills are on display, as the book is chock full of snappy dialogue, quirky characters, and clever twists and turns along the way. I dare you to put it down. |
