Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A series of detective novels written by Gregory Mcdonald, drawing on his experience as a journalist for the Boston Globe. The books were noted for their humor and dialogue focus.Irwin Maurice Fletcher, or Fletch for short, is an Intrepid Reporter whose keen detective skills are only matched by his sardonic sense of repartee. Through his personal connections or sheer happenstance, Fletch gets wrapped up in some conspiracy or murder that requires his skills.

Book Ends: The first and final chapters of Fletch, Too are a short paragraph reading "What astounded Fletch was that the letter written to him was signed Fletch". In both cases, Fletch is astounded to find his Disappeared Dad isn't as dead as he thought.

Anti-Hero: Fletch in the first book is portrayed as a disturbed and quite ruthless individual, though not entirely without conscience or human feeling. He sleeps with a teenage prostitute and eventually buries her OD'ed corpse to maintain his junkie cover, he has abrasive exchanges with the News Tribune assistant editor, and the book ends with him leaving Stanwyk to die a gory, pointless death while he grabs his getaway money. Though the rest of the series keep Fletch as a snarky fellow not above bending the rules, his dark qualities are much less emphasized.
