Notes:Fletch is in Brazil during Carnival. While the party goes on around him, he tries to figure out why some old woman insists he's her husband whose been dead for 40-some years—and why so many people seem to believe her. Then somebody tries to kill Fletch, and he realizes it's the husband's killer. He identifies the man, and the man's body is found on the beach in the same place the husband's body was found years before. Also, Fletch is looking for Alan Stanwyck's wife who disappeared in Brazil. Fletch finds her washing dishes in a seafood restaurant, escaping life for a while. And he parties with four guys, one of whom dies of a heart attack in a bordello. They dump the body in the ocean to make it look like he drowned so his mother won't find out.

Review - Carioca Fletch

Just weird, hard to follow, and uninteresting, with lots of stuff about Carnival music and parades and a lot of extra characters that had nothing to do with the plot(s).
