Amazon claims there’s a new Flynn book
, Flynn’s World, coming out June 24. I wonder if this is one of the ones that used to be available in a proprietary e-book format from Barnes & Noble or a whole new one?
For those who don’t know, the Flynn books are a spin-off of sorts of Gregory McDonald’s Fletch books; Francis Xavier Flynn first appeared in Confess, Fletch
, the second Fletch book (in written order, not internal chronological).
The other Flynn books are Flynn
, Flynn’s In
and The Buck Passes Flynn
. All are top-notch mystery / spy / humor books, although they’re somewhat dated (Buck Passes in particular is a very 1970s book (and yes, I know it wasn’t published until 1981. The 1970s didn’t end until 1982)).
As good as the Fletch and Flynn books are, though, the Time Squared Quartet are a whole different level. Unfortunately, they evidentally didn’t sell well, and Wise Saws hasn’t ever been published.
