Sequels
Because of the popularity of Fletch, many sequels (and prequels) were written involving the character. The following books were written in the Fletch series by Gregory McDonald (in the stories' chronological order):
- Fletch Won (1985)
- Fletch, Too (1986)
- Fletch and the Widow Bradley (1981)
- Fletch (1974)
- Carioca Fletch (1984)
- Confess, Fletch (1976)
- Fletch's Fortune (1978)
- Fletch's Moxie (1982)
- Fletch and the Man Who (1983)
- Son of Fletch (1993)
- Fletch Reflected (1994)
McDonald wanted the final two books (featuring Fletch's son Jack) to be spin-offs called Jack's Story and Jack and the Perfect Mirror, respectively.
In Confess, Fletch, McDonald introduced another popular character, Inspector Francis Xavier Flynn, a brilliant but eccentric police detective who serves as a foil for Fletch. Flynn would go on to star in four of his own spin-off novels: Flynn, The Buck Passes Flynn, Flynn's In and Flynn's World.
