Fletch's Moxie is an ever-shifting map.

This one was really not good.

I have a vague recollection of not especially liking the books that feature the Moxie character, mainly because while all of the Fletch series is heavy on the dialogue, the particular relationship between Fletch and Moxie is a slog of endless banter.

The banter didn't bother me as much in this one; I guess I was more annoyed by the fact that almost nothing happened in the entire stupid book. Basically there's a murder, then Fletch ends up staying in a beach house with a bunch of famous people, all of whom seem to complain endlessly. Moxie's father Freddy spends a lot of the book blathering on about nothing, also endlessly. And then at the end the murderer tells Fletch "I did it."
