The first Fletch book is quite good, and it basically follows the plot of the first movies (or rather, the movie followed the plot of this first book). “Confess, Fletch” is the best of the series, and the “Flynn” spinnoffs are also worth reading.
I’m not sure about the more recent ones. The last of the Fletch books I read had him following a presidential candidate around. I forget what the title was.

Man, I love Fletch. The book and the movie were great. I have a special love for the movie. So many great lines. Every time I watch it, some line I never noticed before just completely floors me. Chase’s comic timing is impeccable. I hope he’s cast in this new one.
That’d be Comanche Indian.
Would you like sugar with that, Mr. Poon?
“Come on guys, everything’s ball bearings nowadays.”
The new one is a prequel so if Chevy has any sort of role, it will most likely be a small one.
(I was hoping the thread would devolve to this level! 
)
There’s been a lot of changes in the law; I’m not sure that’s even a crime anymore!
Why don’t we head on back to the bedroom and I’ll fill you in?
Best Fletch quotes of all time I use nearly daily:
“I’ll have a steak sandwich and a… steak sandwich.”
“It was probably that pederast, Hanerhan.”
“No, never…never.”
“Do you have the Beatles White Album? Never mind, just bring me a cup of hot fat. And the head of Alfredo Garcia.”
“Give yourselves each $20.”
“Using the whole fist, doc?”
“May I borrow your towel? my car just hit a water buffalo…”
“I just ran into Allen this morning and you know what I can’t figure out?”
“I’m with the mattress police…”
“May I help you Dr…”
“Dr. Rosenpenis”
“Hey! You and Tommy Lasorda!”
<smash!>
“I hate Tommy Lasorda.”
“Bend over.”
“Nice to meet you Ben.”
“Have you ever seen a pancreas that big before?”
“No…not since breakfast.”
“And who are you, again?”
“I’m Frida’s boss.”
“Who’s Frida?”
“My secretary.”
<deep inhale>
“God, I admire you”
“Charge it to the Underhills??”
