Goodreads review by Kemper on November 24, 2022

Fun stuff although the character of Fletch on the page always seems to be more asshole than hero to me. Also thoroughly enjoyed the recent film based on with Jon Hamm.......more

Goodreads review by Gary on June 18, 2023

In my review for Fletch I mentioned that I had watched the Chevy Chase movie several times prior to reading the book. For this one the story was completely new for me. Overall I didn't find it nearly as interesting as the first installment, but it was a worthy follow up. I really enjoyed the charact......more

Goodreads review by Cathy on June 14, 2013

What a fun ride this was. Confess, Fletch is number two in the Fletch series and he's getting married. Again. Even after all the alimony problems he had in Fletch. Duh, it's Fletch, he won't learn. He's been living in Italy but flew to Boston to try to locate his fiancee's stolen inheritance, pricel......more

The only thing Fletch should confess to is having a rollicking good time!......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on February 05, 2019

This was a lot of fun, with ample helpings of Fletch's trademark dry wit, smooth talking and numerous fake aliases. Fletch tries to clear himself of being framed for murder in a set of convoluted circumstances while simultaneously tracking down some pricey stolen art. This is not the over-the-top bu......more

Quotes

“Formalism matters in the mystery novel. Breaking rules and flying in the face of convention can have its rewards, but most avid readers of crime will tell you that nothing satisfies like that tale that falls within the well-marked boundaries of its genre. Confess, Fletch, Gregory McDonald’s second novel featuring the intrepid wiseass Irwin Maurice Fletcher, is a mystery that takes its cues from the golden age of detective fiction: it features a naked corpse in a locked room, a disparate list of morally challenged suspects, and even introduces an eccentric police detective, an enormous Irish cop with a penchant for chamomile tea and Bach. That he balances these elements within the framework of a Fletch novel shows how good McDonald, who died earlier this year, was when he on the top of his game. Among McDonald’s books, Confess, Fletch is second only to its predecessor Fletch, and fans of traditional mysteries might easily find it to be the best.” Pop Matters

“A fun read…The book is well written, and the characters are nicely developed. The crisp storyline makes the book easy to read…I was hooked by the seriousness juxtaposed to the dry humor in the opening scene…Confess, Fletch is a very entertaining, lighthearted mystery that doesn’t take itself too seriously.” Book Junkie Reviews

'‘Has all the zest, humor, and spare lean prose of its forerunner: it has a beautifully complex plot which leaves you squirming at the final sentence and a set of slippery characters who never turn out to be just exactly what they seem. Confess, Fletch is a stimulant slipped into your nightcap that will have you up at dawn.’' Joe Gores, author of Hammett
