![]() Maybe it's his trademark style that runs throughout the series but I'm not sure of the point in an investigator who doesn't actually investigate anything, so hopefully it's not. Technically there's a bit of a locked room mystery about the 'case' that Fletch is investigating seemingly an impossible crime committed in front of TV cameras but Fletch doesn't really seem to investigate it. There were a good few belly laughs and an occasional moment where I needed to put the book down to compose myself after an attack of the giggles.Īnd then, I just wanted to finish it without stopping. The first third of the book flew past in a wave of Harold Faltermeyer's Theme From Fletch, Stephanie Mills singing Bit By Bit and my inability to imagine the dialogue delivered in a style and voice any different to that of Chevy Chase. ![]() I think it's probably wise to go about it this way rather than being sitting here complaining that the book isn't as good as the movie or having my love of the movie diminished by how good the source material was. ![]() So what prompted me to jump in at book 5 rather than start at the award winning beginning? For some reason a colleague marked it as a $1 book and I couldn't resist it. OK, OK, I admit it, I love the Chevy Chase movie about the Fletch character and until today I had never read any of the books that inspired it. ![]()
