Confess, Fletch
The flight from Rome had been pleasant enough, even if the business he was on wasn’t exactly. His Italian fianc?e’s father had been kidnapped and presumably murdered, and Fletch is on the trail of a stolen art collection that is her only patrimony. But when he arrives in his apartment to find a dead body, things start to get complicated.

This is the novel where wisecracking reporter Fletch runs into inspector Flynn, his first appearence in the books of McDonald. WHile the mystery is somewhat run of the mill the two leading men snooping around and their observations and conversations make this a must-read for those folks who enjoy smart & witty dialogue.
McDonald wrote this follow up to his Edgar winning "Fletch" and won his second Edgar. The one and only time that's happened for a sequel.
Lt. Flynn made this thorougly enjoyable. I want to read some of Mcdonald's books where Flynn is the star.
Might be my favorite of them all, because it's such a great battle of wits between Fletch and Flynn!
Not as fun as the first, but still a wonderful read and a great continuation of a wonderful series.
meeting Flynn in this book is a delight, and chapter 29 is worth reading the book for.
Great character interaction. Really enjoyed it. The introduction of Flynn.
More fun with Fletch--this time storming his way into the artworld.
In 1976, they were fascinated by lesbians.
Fletch is more sophisticated in this book, but he's still the same old rascal. He's returned to the US from Italy after living off the...well, I won't spoil the first book for you. He does a house exchange with a man living in Boston, comes back from dinner and finds a dead girl in his borrowed apartment. Funny and suspenseful.

The book that introduces Francis Xavier Flynn, an Investigator of the Boston Police Department with a secret life. I don't remember if the secret life was in this book but if you read further into the "Flynn" series, one sees the secret life in some detail. On the surface, "Confess, Fletch" is a standard murder mystery but once one gets a couple of chapters into it, it becomes clear that this is definetly not a generic mystery.
Thoroughly enjoyable with some nice twists towards the end
Giving up on this. It's not that bad, per se, just not particularly interesting. I'd rather watch the slobby, wiseass investigative reporter Chevy Chase version of the character than read about the well-to-do, smarmy arts reporter version McDonald is writing.

I really like the Fletch books. Just when I think I'm on top of everything some twist comes into it.
I just found many of the now out of print books at used book stores and have them on my shelf waiting to read.
They're mystery, witty, etc.

Another silly adventure with the investigative reporter Fletch. The Fletch books tickle my funny bone.
Fletch is back-funny one-liners.
