This selection was interesting, as Fletch became the Press Secretary for a presidential candidate during his campaign. ( )

Fletch is a little more establishment on this book. His Lieutenant from Vietnam recruits him to be the press secretary for his father, a presidential candidate. The campaign is plagued by the murder of several young women. Fletch feels compelled to figure out who the murderer is. The press corps is a true group of characters. ( )

Fletch becomes the media adviser for a Presidential candidate and has to deal with all sorts of political shenanigans, as well as a murder mystery. It's all a pale shadow of the earlier Fletch books. ( )
  MiaCulpa | Jun 24, 2021 |
This is a story that focuses on the press and political campaigns, on the distance between what the public sees and what the insiders experience. It also foreshadows the world of fake news we experience today where ordinary events such as a candidate performing magic tricks before school children gets twisted into something nefarious. And there's a keen sense of how politicians see themselves and how stuck in their own bubbles they are. It's quirky, irreverent, and in some ways ahead of its time.

Unfortunately, despite the gruesome murders, it feels light, fluffy, and awkward itself. To me, it simply wasn't a solid read. It felt, perhaps purposefully, like a lot of cocktail chatter. ( )

Another series I’d dropped years ago when a lack of free time allowed me to continue to follow only my very favorites. Here Fletch becomes the Press Liaison for a presidential campaign. Like his protagonist McDonald was once a reporter, and he had intimate knowledge of how these things worked back in 1983. It is fascinating to compare that world to today’s of instant knowledge. And let’s not even get into tactics. The conclusion is almost irrelevant, and it reads that way. It was almost as if McDonald belatedly realized he actually had to solve the murders to get out of the book satisfactorily; there are, after all, certain expectations attached to the genre. But the afterthought nature of the solution is not a major problem. The killings were beside the point all along. ( )
