Review of "Fletch's Fortune" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Fletcher is a reporter that is currently investigating a local drug problem. Confused by Alan Stanwyk as one of the addicts, Fletcher is offered a lot of money by Alan to kill him. Fletcher accepts the proposal as he realises there's a good story behind whatever is going on with Stanwyk's life.

I was about to give this book 3 stars, but since it was writtein in the 70s I'm cutting it some slack. Fletcher is a fun and witty character, but there's too much of a James Bond vibe happening with the ladies around him. It is weird to realise that we now have all information we need at the distance of a thumb, and some decades ago it took days to perform a proper research. I liked Fletcher and the cozy mystery, even though I figured it all out before the end. The Audible version is pretty good and available for free for subscribers.
