A "Fletch Club" Favorite
9 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
There are readers who've waxed unkind upon such sublime, escapist fare as Gregory McDonald's "Fletch" series of mystery/comedy/ adventures. With 1993's "Son of Fletch," it's obvious what so many have hinted at for decades--yes, decades. There's a pacing here, and a necessary passing of time; and, to long-time readers of the inimitable Fletch, dozens of most-welcomed references to previous characters and situations that the most loyal will revel in, savor. And, there's a new outlaw in the mix: Fletch's alleged son, Jack Fletcher Faoni (remeber Crystal?), if he's to be believed, seems a chip off the old block, indeed...It's true literary joy to witness the two attempt to figure out one another, while whisked away on another cause-and-effect-laden fact-gathering expedition. Though it's as UN-intellectually challenging as fiction gets, McDonald scores, with dialogue fit for, well, a Chevy Chase film, charac- ters with enough personality to fuel a book of their own (remember Flynn?), and a readablility that is simply not matched in American mystery writing today. Which is exactly what members of the club keep coming back for, again and again. Bravo, Fletch. Wouldja pass the orange juice?
weak but decent in a few parts
28 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
Fletch finds out the hard way he has a long-lost son when the latter (plus three other escaped felons) barge in and make themselves home.
The attempt is there, but the book just doesn't work for me. The beginning requires way too much suspension of disbelief, and the whole thing rather reeks of contrived effort. Also (and this is a minor gripe) this is probably the first Fletch book where he doesn't try to solve a murder. Still, it had a few chuckles and other aspects we've come to expect from the author.
Didn't love it, didn't hate it.

Gregory Mcdonald's SON OF FLETCH has all the biting dialogue and comic situations that makes the series a favorite of many. Yet in true Mcdonald fashion it has some serious things to say about the current ultra liberal situation where what one has been taught to believe is good is turned to an evil quest of absolute power.
Fletch discovers a son from a one-night stand who lands him in the middle of a cult/fanatic military unit who are bent on world supremacy and racial cleansing.
This is one that takes some hard reading between the lines, but doesn't demand that the reader stop having fun with the ridiculous.
