Fletch's newfound son, Jack, has just heard from an old flame who's about to marry a billionaire's son - that is until her future father-in-law suffers several near-fatal accidents.

The potential victim - the inventor of the perfect mirror, which allows people to see themselves exactly as others do - lives in his own secluded compound, so Jack gets a job as poolhand on the estate to get closer to the action.

Now, Jack's life may be in danger, and he will need his inimitable father's help to discover - before it's too late - whose reflection hides a killer's heart.

Not Sure

I don’t know if I caught everything at the end. I enjoyed Fletch not knowing about his son. Role reversal is always interesting.

A fun romp of a story

Jack, Fletch’s son, Jack’s mom & Fletch take part in this romp about the attempted murder of one controlling man.

A Good ride but sad it is over

A Good series, the type you would patrol the new releases at the library, and if you had to pay a dollar a day when it goes over due.

A review of the series as a hole

Overall, the series was good, but individually the books were rather hit and miss.

If you listen to it in the publication order, and the order that audible puts it in, this series jumps around in a non-linear timeline. In some ways, it kept the series fresh and interesting, jumping around at different points in Fletch’s life. In other ways, it was rather jarring. For example, in the first book- Fletch, the character is a scoundrel. He is rude, manipulative, and possibly only a cut above a villain himself. Subsequent books set before this, and after show him in a much more positive light. Ordinarily, this could be explained by his character maturing, however, the prequel novels feature him as rather likable, as do the sequel novels.
In the first novel, his ex-wife is presented as naïve and rather pathetic, whereas in a later novel, she is presented in a more three-dimensional way, but due to the structure of the books, there is never any resolution to show the shifts in relationships.

Some of the books have stronger plots than the others . Fletch, the first one, is the strongest by far. Fletch and the Widow Bradley was probably the weakest.

The novels often succeeded in particular when they had a good sense of place in an exotic location to complement the mystery; Fletch’s Moxy and Fletch Too excelled in that aspect- Carioca Fletch not as much.

Overall, though, each novel has its signature in the character of Fletch. The wit is razor sharp. Often times things that are serious, such as violence and murder, are handled in a rather humorous and whimsical fashion. The mysteries are usually compelling. I wish that it had more of a definitive ending, or any kind of ending really, but the structure seemed intentional

FLetch reflected

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I sure was surprised by the characters and the story. This was a quirky and humorous murder mystery.

Okay

The plot was good but confusing. Lots of twists and turns that could have been good but too many left unresolved. Sex was used as a manipulation tool in all respects. Sigh. I finished but don’t know if it was worth it

5 Stars for sure

I loved this book Actually I love this whole series.Fletch is a highly likable character.
I highly recommend for a feel good story.

I loved every minute of it.

Fletch's son Jack is stuck a great reflection of him, even though they didn't know each other until now.

The idea of them being farther and son is not forced, and just feels right. This is a favorite.

DJM' excellent voice characterization invigorates this entire audio book series.

The family relationship & interaction is a fitting tribute to Mr Macdonald's Fletch book series.

It is finished....not very interesting

Poor story line...just not very interesting and not very funny. Disappointing that is was so bad.
