About this listen

The acidly funny first book starring the subversive sleuth in one of the most successful mystery series of all time. Fletch is an investigative reporter whose methods are a little unorthodox. Currently he's living on the beach.

He's taking more than a little flak from his editor. She doesn't appreciate his style. Or the expense account items he's racking up. Or his definition of the word "deadline". Or the divorce lawyers who keep showing up at the office. So when multimillionaire Alan Stanwyk offers Fletch the job of a lifetime, which could be worth a fortune, he's intrigued and decides to do a little investigation. What he discovers is that the proposition is anything but what it seems.

Fletcher is a reporter that is currently investigating a local drug problem. Confused by Alan Stanwyk as one of the addicts, Fletcher is offered a lot of money by Alan to kill him. Fletcher accepts the proposal as he realises there's a good story behind whatever is going on with Stanwyk's life.

I was about to give this book 3 stars, but since it was written in the 70s I'm cutting it some slack. Fletcher is a fun and witty character, but there's too much of a James Bond vibe happening with the ladies around him. It is weird to realise that we now have all information we need at the distance of a thumb, and some decades ago it took days to perform a proper research. I liked Fletcher and the cozy mystery, even though I figured it all out before the end. The Audible version is pretty good and available for free for subscribers.

I enjoyed this a lot. A very cleverly plotted story and quite original since it’s about as old as me! I think I listened to the last in the series first so now I’ll start at the beginning! What a treat

What a surprise!
