About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This volume of McDonald's Fletch series is a humorous look at the Hollywood movie industry and the nature of stardom even though it all takes place on the Florida coast. Features are an on-screen murder taking place with all camera ras rolling, a stealthy getaway by Fletch with a picnic basket and the chief suspect super-sexy movie Star Moxie, a funhouse filled with Hollywood crazies like an altered version of a murder mystery weekend in the Catskills, rioting locals, race horses, and Cuba. The opening scene was perfect as was the closing, but the middle seemed to drag with a whole lot of chitter chatter. A fairly decent read that fits in well in the Fletch universe, but it almost lost me wading through the middle
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I believe this is my favorite Fletch book. I have only two books left to read from the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fun to have this fletch book set in Fort Myers. The trip to Key West made out even more fun. The conclusion was a little surprising but well developed. MacDonald seems to enjoy surprising flip flops by his characters. Moxie and her father play more central roles and are well developed.
