Product Description
An all-new novel starring the obsessively beloved TV detective who always knows when something’s out of place…

Adrian Monk has actually been doing well lately. He’s solving murders as fast as they come, and he’s been noticeably less compulsive. Monk knows he owes it all to his therapist, Dr. Kroger. So when Kroger attends a conference in Germany, Monk hits the skids, reverting to his OCD habits full-time. Desperate, Monk follows his shrink to Germany. And that’s when he sees the man across a crowded town square. A man with six fingers. Monk knows it could be the man responsible for his wife’s death.

Mr Monk and another Big Success!

I was pretty impressed with Mr Monk goes to Germany. Right off the bat, Mr Monk was faced with a really bad situation in his overly orderly world. He was missing a sock. It was so funny that he hired the police for a full investigation into finding this lost sock, cause you know in Monk's world, one sock just will not make the cut. I think it's just fitting that Stottlemeyer appointed Disher the leader of the Sock Recovery, hahah. I really enjoyed this book. I really don't like to give too much away, but he was a complete and utter mess all throughout this book. Dr Kroger leaving him for an international psychiatric conference in Germany just turned Monk's orderly world upside down. He even paid for Natalie to go with him, and that is so not like Monk, he's usually very cheap and hardly pays Natalie anything. As an avid fan of the show, Lee Goldberg's novels are a very nice treat. I'm very impressed with the way he writes. Natalie though is usually very sweet, she lost her temper once in this book, and I mean really lost it, but she had every right to. Congratulations Lee on another great book. Can't wait for Mr Monk is Miserable!

Mr Monk strikes again

These books are so much fun, they almost make all my issues small by comparison. I have read all the books and anxiously look forward to the next one. If you are looking for pure escapism when you read, pick up these books. The characters are fun and believable (well, as believable as Monk can be), the stories are well written and you do not have to watch the series to enjoy them (I don't have cable and have only seen 1-2 episodes). If you want a fun read, read MONK!

Just a fun, great read

I continue to enjoy these books as Lee Goldberg puts them out. Looks like there is even another coming in Dec 08.

This book, like many of his others, was very good. A nice, quick read that, generally, holds true to the TV series. There are a few things I think Mr. Goldberg goes over the top on (some of Monk's disorders, for instance), but he does a good job.

I finally realized after reading this book that he indicates when the book takes place in relation to the tv show. Some of the books, for instance, Natalie talks about her 12 year old daughter, Julie. Yet, in the TV episodes currently airing, she's much older. It's nice to realize when the timeframe of the book is in comparison to the show. This was in the author's notes, BTW.

Overall, a good book. Monk does what he does best, and its fun to see how he does it in Germany. Maybe one of these days some of the books will turn into episodes.

A book for a really bad day

If everything is going wrong in your life....have I got a book for you.

"Mr Monk Goes to Germany" is light and funny and entertaining on every page. It's sure to put you in a better mood.

The book starts off with a major catastrophe. Monk has lost a sock and he demands a full police investigation into the crime. As if that isn't bad enough, his new neighbor has only one leg. The man, stuck on Mount Kilmanjaro with his leg caught between two boulders, had to hack off the leg, then eat it to survive.

Monk knows in his soul that "'I'm very tasty to cannibals'" (p 31).

And now, with things in such a crisis state, Monk's shrink, Dr. Kroger, is leaving on vacation.

If you don't laugh out loud, then there is at least a smile on every page.

Was unsure

A huge fan of the Monk series, I was afraid the book would ruin the TV experience for me. As long as you are up to date on Monk, reading any of these books will not ruin the show, however if you have not seen Monk, or at least the first few seasons, it may cause some confusion or spoil some upcoming shows.

I found myself laughing out loud at typical Monk antics, even late at night while reading before bed. I came here to order every Monk book I do not have and thought I would share with others what a wonderful experience these books have been! If your on the fence as a TV Monk fan, get the books, you won't be sorry!
