Ms. Moxie Mooney is Hollywood royalty-and she's in trouble.
At the summons of his on-again, off-again lover, Fletch drops in on Moxie's film set, located in sunny Florida. If being called up for help by the box office beauty isn't work enough, Steve Peterman, Moxie's sleazy manager, is murdered while the cameras are rolling, and no one managed to see a thing. Despite the obvious lack of evidence, the rumor mill is still quick to churn up a potentially plausible suspect: Moxie.
Realizing the need for a little R&R away from prying eyes, he hastily flies Moxie and her drunken father off to Key West. But trouble follows Fletch, in every sense of the word, and soon enough he's playing host to a full house of Hollywood's brightest.
In true Fletch style, he delves into the investigation, dodging police inquiry, betting on race horses, taking a leisurely sail, and talking up his elite houseguests to get the dirt and solve this perplexing murder.
This description may be from another edition of this product.I'd probably give this book 4.5 out of 5 (As 'Fletch', 'Fletch Won', and perhaps 'Fletch and the Widow Bradley' would need at least .5 stars above any other Fletch book), but I digress. This was the last Fletch book I read and really enjoyed it. As with every Fletch book the beginning and middle don't find too much going on, but the end gives you a one-two punch. Some people might harp that any book that is 2/3 set-up and 1/3 meaty story is a waste of 2/3 of a book, but I'm a fan of that anticipation. All in all if you are looking for a typical Fletch, 'who done it?' book, and don't mind a slow initial set-up this is for you. Setting this apart from some of the lesser interesting Fletch books (ie. 'Carioca Fletch' and 'Fletch and the Man Who' IN MY OPINION), this book's ending is well worth the read (just like the first 3 great Fletch books I listed).
Having read some of the Fletch mysteries and having seen the movies, I think Fletch's Moxie is the best if you are looking for a mystery. All of the Fletch series is entertaining. This one has less laughs than Fletch's Fortune (which I think is the funniest I've read so far) but Moxie has a really interesting plot and I bet you won't guess who-dun-it. A good read.
He has done it again. Another adventure with Fletch moves you from your reading sofa to a whole different world. Forgetting the time, forgetting the space and only hoping that the next page wont be the last. I truly recommend this book to anyone who likes the fantasies of Fletch.
