Let me begin by saying that about a year ago, my family and I got into the hit-television show Monk shortly after we signed up for Netflix. What followed was a two month-long blur in which we worked through all eight seasons of the show. By the end of it, we were exhausted, amused, and had grown ...
Another exciting installment in the Monk book series, the second since Hy Conrad has taken over the series from Lee Goldberg. This mystery involves a cruise, and Mr. Monk gets on board - though not without wearing a life vest, and having a slew of problems adjusting to being at sea.The mystery is...
Mr. Monk Helps HimselfHy ConradJune 4, 20134 StarsThank goodness for the Monk books. I happen to adore Tony Shalhoub who played Monk but I simply couldn’t get in to the series. After delving into the books, I realized his multitude of phobias played out better in the written word for me. I was a ...
A mystery story filled with funfilled details, I had never heard of the character, in fact now would love to see the video, loved Adrian Monk and his unique way of living life, which would drive those around him nuts, the details are rather funny, but in spite of it all he gets results, and nails...
This is the last in the series of Monk books written by Lee Goldberg and it's a fitting end to the characters and situations of the series (even more so than the show finale, I think). Reintroducing Dale the Whale into the final book was a nice way to tie up the book series since he was involved ...
It is okay, although I give one extra star for Randy and Sharona (she is quite out of character though). I'm still not sure of the new development of Monk and his relationship with Ellen Morse. Maybe this is a good thing, maybe not. Monk does behave like an idiot over the Poop shop deal. As for N...
Apparently no one gets married anymore they just move-in together. I'm still kind of annoyed the Yuki thing is such a...non thing.Ok, so I do like the change of scenery. Kind of fun to see Randy try to handle responsibility. Poop is a funny concept, and I like the idea of Monk getting a love i...
Fans of the conclusion of the show who are expecting the book to pick up where the series left off will be a little disappointed with this. Monk's compulsions have not improved, his relationship with Molly is not furthered. But, if you're looking for the Monk you know and love, this book has it. ...
It's good to see Natalie finally doing detective work and ending the loathe between Lt. Devlin and her. The story is very exciting, and keeps readers turning the pages. However,it contains too few cases.I like this book very much because each case is complex and well-planned. You will have a stro...
One nice thing about reading the Monk mystery novels is that they are written by the people who wrote the television shows, so they not only have a great sense of character and ear for dialogue but they are able to recreate the "feel" of the beloved series. In this tale, narrated by Adian Monk's...
With his job secure and his wife's murder finally solved, Adrian Monk is feeling strangely...satisfied. He'd like his agoraphobic brother Ambrose to feel the same way, so Monk puts a secret ingredient in Ambrose's birthday cake: sleeping pills. When Ambrose wakes up, he's in a motorhome on the op...
In the midst of a financial crisis, the SFPD fires Adrian Monk as a consultant. Monk figures he can live off his savings for a while. Then Natalie learns that Monk invested his money some time ago with Bob Sebes, the charismatic leader of Reinier Investments, who's just been arrested on charges o...
I really enjoyed this! I was upset at the way Captain Stottlemeyer treated Monk for the most part of the book also at the way Monk seemed to take Natalie for granted. While Stottlemeyer refused to hire Monk, he had no qualm in using Monk OCD-ness in helping him to solve the cases for free. I coul...
Leland Stottlemeyer is used to obsessive- compulsive genius Adrian Monk getting all the praise and attention. But the police captain is feeling a little hostile after taking a lot of ribbing about his reliance on his star consultant. Is it possible he's used the latest round of budget cuts as an ...
I really liked the mysteries and all the characters here especially Danielle. I had hope she will stay but things did not went my way. Nevertheless, she was an amazing character, if only minor. She had degree in psychology so that made her understanding of Monk's OCD. She was an efficient assista...
After an awful time solving murders in Germany, Natalie Teeger blackmails Monk into going to Paris for a few days for vacation. Since this is Monk, dead bodies and murder follow him wherever he goes starting from the plane ride to France. This one actually had me guessing as to who the murderer...
