I love the fact that the continuity of the stories tie back to his taking the money from the first novel, and using it, and other sources gleaned along the way, to finance his life. The story moves fast, and Fletch, and the reader have to keep pace with the revelations, the threads of possible clues, and figure out who to trust. Paying attention, and recording conversations from the well-placed bugs, Fletch is able to get the scoop, have relations, deliver lots of quips, and generally make an annoyance of himself to the one woman who seems interested in him. If Fletch will go to Hendricks, Virginia, and attend a convention for American journalists, bug their rooms and record their activities, then his financial worries may be over.Īrriving at the convention, he’s stunned to discover a murder has occured, and that everyone is a suspect. Fletch is back, in his third novel from Gregory McDonald, this time the sometimes journalist isback in Italy, supposedly working on a book, but more likely enjoying living off all of the money he’s been able to walk away with so far over the course of the previous novels.īut a pair of CIA agents show up to hint and threaten about arrest for failure to pay his taxes for the past few years, exporting unheard of amounts of cash out of the country, and possibly his theft of same.
