Who Killed the Fonz by James Boice

38532226

Thank you to Netgalley for this advanced copy. 

A campy look at the Happy Days gang, if the timeline continued into the 1980's. Richard Cunningham is a movie director, Ralph and Potsie are still a single unit of cheesy one-liners, and the Fonz is dead. Arnold's is struggling for business with the Bennigan's across the street.

I grew up watching Happy Days, so there is a fun nostalgic element to this. The book's main theme, of finding out what happened to the Fonz, is as campy as a Saved the the Bell episode, or Scooby Doo who-done-it. But then again, so was Happy Days, do it does fit the old feel of the show. Richie tries hitting the jukebox to get it to play. Oops, sorry--Richard, not Richie. He demands to be taken seriously. A fun and quick read.
