Fletch's Moxie

The book has such a sharp wit alongside a compelling mystery—I'm curious about how Gregory McDonald approached blending these tones seamlessly.

His sharp wit and clever observations really stood out, making me wonder if the character was inspired by or a parody of a certain type of detective.

I wonder what led McDonald to choose this particular backdrop—was it based on real places or a fictional version to serve the story’s tone and humor?
