Editorial Reviews

Review
"A natural storyteller, Mcdonald is the Kurt Vonnegut of the mystery story...fast-moving, quizzical, amusing, ironic." --The New York Times Book Review --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
“A girl jumped off the motel’s roof. Five minutes ago.”

"Give it to me straight. Does the girl have anything to do with us? I mean, with the campaign? The presidential candidate?"

"It's your job, Fletch, to make damned sure she didn't."


FLETCH and the Man Who
When Fletch arrives as the new press representative for Governor Caxton Wheeler’s presidential campaign, he isn’t sure which mystery to solve first: what his new job actually is or why the campaign has been leaving dead women in its tracks.

FLETCH and the Man Who
He finds himself on the other side of the press, a human shield deflecting the questions he is asking himself. Are the murders just coincidence, or is a cold-hearted killer looking for a job in the White House?

FLETCH and the Man Who
When the campaign shifts into high gear, Fletch’s skills are working overtime in a desperate bid of his own to find the killer and to make sure the governor doesn’t lose any more votes. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fletch for President, August 8, 2000

By	Brian D. Rubendall (Oakton, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fletch and the Man Who (Paperback)

In this installment, Fletch goes to work for an American Presidential candidate after a murder in his campaign hotel. Along the way we get a lot of unique Fletch insights into the political process. This book would have made a much better sequel for the original Fletch movie than the idiotic "Fletch Saved." Overall, an excellent entry in the Fletch saga.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Fletch book, March 11, 2000

By	M. M. Buchecker "disneybride" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fletch and the Man Who (Paperback)

If you are a fan of the Fletch book series (not necessarily the movie versions), this is the best Fletch book in that series. In it, a number of characters that appear in other books are written where you finally get an idea of their backgrounds, relationship to Fletch and true character. The books "Son of Fletch" and "Fletch Reflected" are best understood by reading this book first. Apart from character histories, this book provides insight into the political process of the campaign/primary trail. As with some of the better Fletch books, the twist of the ending will have you immediately re-reading the book to look for the subtleties and nuances missed the first time around when you were simply enjoying the storyline. I highly recommend this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Escape, April 2, 2000

By	Ken - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fletch and the Man Who (Paperback)

I have read two Fletch books (Fletch (the one on which the movie was based) and this one), and found both to be entertaining comic mysteries. I can't speak for the artistic quality and subtle nuances, but I can say, "Read it, you'll like it!" An easy read from start to finish
