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.

Classic mystery crime story. Good twists and great suspense. A story from its time (mid-70s) with regard to technology, fashion and attitudes towards women.

Didn't even finish Chapter 1. Dreadful. Central character is a not very funny chauvinist who jokes about abusing animals.
