Summary

Infusing elements of dark reality into this richly detailed, comical series, Mcdonald's first volume, Flynn, delves deeper into the curious character first introduced in the best-selling Fletch series - Francis Xavier Flynn.

Early one morning as Boston's only investigator is returning home from solving another peculiar case, he has the displeasure of witnessing a spectacularly horrible show outside his front door: a massive aircraft, carrying over one hundred souls, exploding in midair over the harbor. Almost immediately, the Human Surplus League takes credit for the heinous act of terrorism. But "Reluctant Flynn" isn't so easily convinced, unlike his partner and governmental counterparts.

Now finding himself at the whim of the tedious and ill-mannered FBI agents as they follow bunk leads and question all the wrong suspects, he decides to do his own digging, employing family and encountering new friends and old acquaintances along the way. As the truth begins to trickle forth, Flynn finds himself staring down a much bigger - and much deadlier - problem.

Loved this reading of a great story. The deadpan McDonald humour shines throughout the story.

Mcdonald at his best

Gregory McDonald is very good at dialogues, Flynn keeps throwing witty replies at everyone and it's the best part of the book. The story is cool but it doesn't follow the usual suspense behind "who did it". I enjoyed listening to the story, but don't be like me and forget this is from the 70s, beware that the world changed a lot since this story was written.

Flynn is great character

A great find in the audible plus catalogue. Would have got 5 stars easily, but I felt the crime being investigated was out of proportion to the levity of the dialogue. That's just me, I'm sure many others will enjoy it without even that small reservation.

He's clever, he's funny, he's eccentric.

A terrific intro to the characters with an intriguing story - all with an undercurrent of humour.

Great fun

The character Flynn is great I love the way he annoys almost everyone whilst getting the job done without them knowing. Definitely worth listening to
