"Fletch, Too" is the sequel to "Fletch," both written by Gregory McDonald. This book continues the adventures of investigative reporter Irwin M. Fletcher, known as Fletch. In this installment, Fletch finds himself in even more outrageous situations than before. The story begins with Fletch receiving a mysterious letter from a man named Harry Sears, who claims to be on death row for a crime he did not commit. Sears offers Fletch a large sum of money to investigate his case and clear his name. Fletch, always up for a challenge and intrigued by the offer, accepts. As Fletch delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of corruption and deceit that extends to the highest levels of government. Along the way, he encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including a transvestite prostitute, a one-armed bartender, and a group of Nazi sympathizers. One of the strengths of "Fletch, Too" is McDonald's ability to create memorable and humorous characters. Fletch himself is a likable protagonist, with his quick wit and irreverent attitude. The dialogue is sharp and snappy, and the plot moves at a fast pace. However, some readers may find the book's tone to be uneven at times. While much of the story is played for laughs, there are also some serious moments that deal with issues such as racism and police brutality. This tonal shift can be jarring and may not appeal to all readers. Overall, "Fletch, Too" is a fast-paced and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of the first book. Its memorable characters and snappy dialogue make it a worthy addition to the Fletch series. However, readers who are looking for a more straightforward mystery may be disappointed by the book's uneven tone...
