I. M. Fletcher is a 'detective' in a world that's determined to drown him in its petty mysteries. Fletch is the tanned, not-as-amoral cousin of Highsmith's Tom Ripley, and one of the great literary creations."</p>-- "Patton Oswalt"<br><br><p>"I couldn't stop at 101 words. I couldn't stop at one page. I had to reread the whole book. And then the next and then the next. And I don't think I'll be the only one who still finds that old hook as sharp as ever. The movie may have stunk, but the sentiment holds true: Fletch lives."</p>-- "Mystery Scene"<br><br><p>"Narrator Dan John Miller dives into the role of Fletch with gusto. Miller's tone reflects the ace reporter's approach to his undercover disguise as a beach bum while working to ferret out drug sources for a big story...Miller revels in the sardonic nature of Mcdonald's dark 1970s hero who is struggling with the demands of a cranky editor, newsroom deadlines, addicts, crooks, and cops."</p>-- "AudioFile"<br>
