review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Imagine Monk on a cruise ship, and a rather ratty one at that! Poor Natalie has her hands full. She now has her private investigator's license and is Monk's boss. Poor Monk, or at least he thinks so. The [mis]adventure begins with a supposedly ...

review 1: I take it back. Reading this series, I've so far said that I prefer the stories set on home ground, and felt the others were forced.This one is the exception to the rule. Monk and Natalie go to Summit, New Jersey to help Randy and Sharona and although it is still within the US, i...

review 1: I love the Monk TV series and this book is a bit different from the actual episode of the same name. However, this book was a good read. It's written from the perspective of Natalie, Monk's assistant, and features Detective Stottlemeyer getting in trouble. I was a bit turned off ...

review 1: This is another fine romp in the Mr. Monk universe offered by Lee Goldberg. In fact, this one is one of, if not, the best of the series that I have read, and I have read quite a few of them. This time, Monk decides to do something pleasant for his brother, Ambrose. Ambrose is a...

review 1: I was a bit wary of the series changing hands from author Lee Goldberg who did such a great job with the other Monk books I've read, to Hy Conrad whom I didn't know as an author. Not to be all Monk-like, but I feared change!Well, there was no need for that fear- the transition f...

review 1: Here's another great episode in the Monk series. Lee Goldberg continues to write fantastic Monk adventures that always bring a smile to my face or a chuckle. Goldberg has a deep understanding of the character (unlike many of the other television series related novelists out ther...

review 1: I LOVE these Monk books! They are written by the same man who wrote the TV episodes so they flow just like an episode does. The story is told by Natalie and it's fun to see her thought process while she deals with Monk.SFPD has to let Monk go due to budget cuts. Then Monk disc...

review 1: (2.93/5.00)This was just as ridiculous as the TV show, which is a compliment. That's why I watched the show. If you don't like the far-fetched comedic mystery with no regard for actual police procedure, don't read or watch Monk.I think the best part of this book (and I have not...

review 1: I listened to this book on my MP3 player, while I worked in the yard. I enjoyed it very much. I love Mr. Monk and his OCD's, which are much greater in the books, than on the TV series. The actress, who played Natalie on the TV series, narrated the book, and did a great job. Mo...
