Fletch has come to Boston from Italy to investigate an art theft and finds himself in the middle of a murder. His counterpoint on the Boston police department is inspector Flynn. A merry chase. ( ) In Confess, Fletch, the second book of the series, McDonald offers us another taste of a reworking of a classic pulp theme. As many pulp novels begin, this book begins with the main character discovering a beautiful naked woman in his rental, dead. Normally, in a pulp, you'd have the main character hiding the corpse and furiously covering his tracks and fleeing into the night because he knows that all the evidence points to him. The story has femme fatales, murder, kidnapping, lushes, seductions, international intrigue, and all kinds of fascinating characters. What turns that classic set-up on its head, however, is that Fletch isn't too concerned. with being charged with murder. He has other things on his mind like stolen paintings, a countess who wants to seduce him, his fiancé in Italy, and other things. So we have his calm conversations with Inspector Flynn and the cat and mouse game they play with each other as Fletch calmly goes about his business. This is not an action-packed story. There aren't car chases and gunfights. It's a much more subtle story. But it's really good and a real satisfying read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
