Book review - "Fletch" by Gregory MacDonald (warning spoilers)

 Never read this. Lots of dialogue. Funny. But not Chevy Chase funny - not as funny as that. Chase did his own version. But the Underhill account is in here. Solid mystery. Everyone wants to have sex with Fletch - like, everyone. He's a Vietnam War vet, a hero. Alan is a lot more sympathetic here - like not a villain.  Story broadly the same. I didn't get the joke he was playing on his two ex wives. To get them to move in and he lied? Sorry is that funny? Easy to read. There's a fourteen year old hooker Fletch befriends who dies who I think he might be sleeping with.
