Book Description
In Fletch’s Moxie, the prolific Gregory Mcdonald tests his incomparable investigative journalist once again with a caper that is as perfectly plotted as Fletch is brilliant.
It seems just about everyone in Hollywood had a reason to want Steve Peterman dead. But how someone managed to put a knife in his back on a live broadcast without being seen is anyone’s guess. Unfortunately for Fletch, his girlfriend, Moxie Mooney, a huge star at the box office, is also the number one suspect. With the police asking way too many questions, Fletch whisks Moxie and her drunken father, O.L., off to Key West for a little privacy. But before he can even check out the beach, the rest of the suspects decide to check in. Now, in a house full of Hollywood’s elite, Fletch is increasingly amazed at how ruthless the movie business can be. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

one of the best, Aug 24 2007
By wisdomstar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fletch's Moxie (Paperback)
Having read some of the Fletch mysteries and having seen the movies, I think Fletch's Moxie is the best if you are looking for a mystery. All of the Fletch series is entertaining. This one has less laughs than Fletch's Fortune (which I think is the funniest I've read so far) but Moxie has a really interesting plot and I bet you won't guess who-dun-it. A good read.

Fletch is in for a spin., July 5 2010
By Nash Black "Troubadour" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fletch's Moxie (Paperback)
Gregory McDonald's FLETCH'S MOXIE is a funny murder mystery with all of the stock characters of Hollywood trying to make a film. Who killed an agent on stage for a live TV interview with the entire world as witnesses?Nash Black, author of SINS OF THE FATHERS.

One of the better Fletch books, Jan 23 2008

This review is from: Fletch's Moxie (Paperback)
I'd probably give this book 4.5 out of 5 (As 'Fletch', 'Fletch Won', and perhaps 'Fletch and the Widow Bradley' would need at least .5 stars above any other Fletch book), but I digress. This was the last Fletch book I read and really enjoyed it. As with every Fletch book the beginning and middle don't find too much going on, but the end gives you a one-two punch. Some people might harp that any book that is 2/3 set-up and 1/3 meaty story is a waste of 2/3 of a book, but I'm a fan of that anticipation.All in all if you are looking for a typical Fletch, 'who done it?' book, and don't mind a slow initial set-up this is for you. Setting this apart from some of the lesser interesting Fletch books (ie. 'Carioca Fletch' and 'Fletch and the Man Who' IN MY OPINION), this book's ending is well worth the read (just like the first 3 great Fletch books I listed).
Listmania!
