It's a Fletch book so it's got a slew of good quips, but it's hardly a mystery. It's hardly anything, at least for Fletch, who has little to actually do. Still...it's Fletch.

Another of the more character-based Fletch books rather than mystery-centric, this one has a lot of nice writing even if you see McDonald straining with 1990s 'both-sides'-ism in regards to racism and the sheer cartoonishness of the villains.

This Fletch book dealt with issues of race and hatred. For that approach it was interesting and engaging. The main female character is strong, independent, and brave. For that I am grateful. But jeeeeeeez louise, it's still heavily fat phobic and rude and cruel. I mean, ffs, can we lay off the fat jokes and the comments about weight? It got to the point where it was really distracting from the story and frankly totally irrelevant.

Son of Fletch is a picnic with bursts of fireworks.
