2.15.2019 - Who Killed the Fonz?

Who Killed the Fonz?

Thanks to NetGalley, Simon Schuster, and James Boice for the opportunity to read and review this book.  4 stars for a fun, nostalgic read!

I grew up watching Happy Days - this is a book that examines the lives of the characters 20 years after the show ended - which puts the setting squarely in the 1980s.  So double nostalgia!

Richard Cunningham is now a writer in Hollywood but it's the days of Terminator, Ghostbusters - not the story he envisions writing and directing.  His agent wants him to do a low budget Star Wars take off and if he doesn't, the agent will no longer represent him.  Money is tight and Richard is torn.  Then  a phone call comes telling him that Arthur Fonzarelli (The Fonz) has died in a motorcycle accident.  He goes back to his home town where he discovers he no longer fits in, until he decides to look into the Fonz's death.

Just a fun read that will leave you feeling the way the show did - It's Happy Days when you put family and friends first!
