Synopsis

After a heck of a week at the News-Tribune with only a few minor blunders, Fletch is finally getting married to his blushing bride, Barbara. As the small gathering of friends and family converge on the gusty bluff for the ceremony, Fletch is handed a curious envelope by a mustached stranger that contains something almost unbelievable—a letter from his supposedly dead father, inviting him and his new wife to Africa for a visit.More than just a little curious, Fletch convinces the skeptical Barbara to forgo the skiing adventure they had planned to find the father he’s never known. But upon their arrival in Nairobi, just as the hunt begins for the elusive Fletch Senior, a murder threatens to derail the trip before they even leave the airport.

Goodreads review by Eric on July 14, 2024

i have no idea what happened. The first Fletch books really sucked me into the series, with witty, funny escapades which usually involved Fletch embroiled in some murder mystery. That worked well for the first six books. The seventh, Carioca Fletch, was infuriating, as it had pretty much no connecti......more

2.5 stars Okay, I'm clearly not reading these stories in order (chronological or publication order). It's partly because I thought Fletch was the first book and maybe it was. But then I somehow thought this was the first one, so I started this one, and I was initially thrown because this was about hi......more

Goodreads review by Austin on June 02, 2018

This was the second book in the Fletch series. It was good enough and had some good jokes. I'll probably read more Fletch one day. I'll probably always imagine him as Chevy Chase.......more

Goodreads review by Edward on January 15, 2023

An execrable and completely incoherent entry in the Fletch series. It starts off fairly well before deviating into a Crazytown plot that not even Mcdonald himself seems to understand. The identity of Fletch's father is wantonly and lazily contradicted. The trip to Kenya contains some racist cheap sh......more

Goodreads review by C-shaw on July 20, 2016

I pulled out an old hardbacked copy I've had forever and started it today. It's short and easy and funny, if silly, just like the Chevy Chase movie. I read this in one day, and it was such great good fun. Despite some silliness, the story had substance and adventure - the jungles of Kenya! - murder a......more
