Book Information

Book Description:
The brand-new mystery series starring the brilliant, beloved, and slightly off-balance sleuth from the USA Network's hit show!
Monk's house is being fumigated, and he has nowhere to go. Fortunately, his assistant Natalie and her daughter are kind enough to welcome him into their home. Unfortunately, their home is not quite up to Monk's standards of cleanliness and order.
But while Monk attempts to arrange his surroundings just so, something else needs to be put straight. The death of a dog at the local firehouse-on the same night as a fatal house fire-has led Monk into a puzzling mystery. And much to his horror, he's going to have to dig through a lot of dirt to find the answer.

This was an ok book but being a fan of the show is wasnt what I expected. It was narrated by Natalie, Monks assistant but the narrator didnt sound like her at all. Other than some of my favorite characters being the stars this was just another mystery. It gets a 3 out of 5

If you enjoy the TV series, you will enjoy this book. The author is fairly true to all the characters and gives the same feel as the TV series. Mr. Monk is a rare character and this book finds him having to move in with his assistant and her daughter. What is a germ-o-phobe to do?
In the midst of all this, 2 very different murders occur, there is no way they could be related or are they?
A fast easy read.

Fan of the USA TV show "Monk"? This book reads like an episode from the show. This book is from Natalie's perspective. The humor is there, and will just make you out right laugh. Easy read, be sure to pass it on to other Monk fans after you read it! This edition is the paperback first printing January 2006. And you thought she was jsut a sweet litle ole lady next door.....

You have to have watched the TV show. If you have and if you like it (and it's hard to imagine anyone who wouldn't), then this book will be a lot of fun for you. Written from the point of view of Natalie, Monk's assistant and keeper, the book follows our favorite obsessive-compulsive detective as he brilliantly solves another couple of murders--one of the victims is the firehouse dog.
Lee Goldberg, the author, knows his Monk. He has written several episodes of the show. You'll fall right into the rhythm and flow of a Monk episode and enjoy the ride.

If you like the TV show, you'll love this book. It's like watching an episode inside your head. If you haven't seen the TV show, what are you waiting for? Monk is the best TV detective since Columbo. Watch the show, then read this book. In that order.

This was the best book that I have read in a long time. There were several times when I was laughing out loud. This was also my first meeting with Mr. Monk.

For a media tie-in novel, this is actually pretty good. The characters sound and act pretty close to the Series.

This book was a lot of fun to read. I like the lighthearted point of view of the character. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoyed the tv show or even anyone that hasn't. I feel as if I know these people and often felt as if i was right there when things were happening.
A quick and funny read. Goldberg does a great job at capturing Monk's character; it was like watching the TV program.
I have read all four of the monk books and enjoyed all of them they are so much like watching the tv show if you like the show you will love the books
First in the all-new series of original mysteries starring Adrian Monk, the brilliant investigator who always knows something's out of place. If you enjoy the TV series, you'll also enjoy this book.
Candy B. (Great. If you enjoy the TV series, you will enjoy the book.
