Honestly, if you're looking for a cult mystery series where most of the books haven't aged well, you can do better. And the loopy genius billionaire creator of the Perfect Mirror is what this story is mainly about. This last one splits time between Fletch and his son, giving us two middling stories and also letting us all know that the Fletchverse is in a parallel universe to our own where everyone has "Perfect Mirrors" which somehow show us exactly as we are instead of a reflection. One great book ( Fletch Won), one pretty good book ( Fletch's Moxie), and the rest.throwaway fiction at best and awful at worst. After reading all 11 books, I can say that I don't really get why Fletch has some sort of legendary status among pop culture aficionados. I would say that this book ended the series on a fairly mediocre note. I even watched "Confess, Fletch!" during this mega-read, and it hewed pretty close to the book, actually. and thus I completed the entire Fletch library.
