Two of the Fletch books earned Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America: Fletch was named Best First Novel in 1975, and Confess, Fletch won for Best Paperback Original in 1977. This is the only time a novel and its sequel won back-to-back Edgars. Mcdonald would go on to write seven more novels in the Fletch series, as well as spinoffs and other standalone novels. The original book became a 1985 movie of the same name starring Chevy Chase.
