Gregory McDonald's FLETCH'S MOXIE is a funny murder mystery with all of the stock characters of Hollywood trying to make a film. Who killed an agent on stage for a live TV interview with the entire world as witnesses?
Nash Black, author of SINS OF THE FATHERS.

I'd probably give this book 4.5 out of 5 (As 'Fletch', 'Fletch Won', and perhaps 'Fletch and the Widow Bradley' would need at least .5 stars above any other Fletch book), but I digress. This was the last Fletch book I read and really enjoyed it. As with every Fletch book the beginning and middle don't find too much going on, but the end gives you a one-two punch. Some people might harp that any book that is 2/3 set-up and 1/3 meaty story is a waste of 2/3 of a book, but I'm a fan of that anticipation.

All in all if you are looking for a typical Fletch, 'who done it?' book, and don't mind a slow initial set-up this is for you. Setting this apart from some of the lesser interesting Fletch books (ie. 'Carioca Fletch' and 'Fletch and the Man Who' IN MY OPINION), this book's ending is well worth the read (just like the first 3 great Fletch books I listed).

Having read some of the Fletch mysteries and having seen the movies, I think Fletch's Moxie is the best if you are looking for a mystery. All of the Fletch series is entertaining. This one has less laughs than Fletch's Fortune (which I think is the funniest I've read so far) but Moxie has a really interesting plot and I bet you won't guess who-dun-it. A good read.

He has done it again. Another adventure with Fletch moves you from your reading sofa to a whole different world. Forgetting the time, forgetting the space and only hoping that the next page wont be the last. I truly recommend this book to anyone who likes the fantasies of Fletch.
