Publisher Description

The husband of Monk's former assistant, Sharona, has been arrested for murder. Sharona, now back in San Francisco, is ready to reclaim her place in Monk's life—much to the chagrin of his current assistant, Natalie. While Monk tries to maintain a delicate balance between the two women, he discovers a few unsettling snags in the case against Sharona's husband and may be up against a killer who not only understands him but is one step ahead.

"Great addition to the Monk series! It continues to be refreshing to see things from Natalie's point of view, particularly with the return of Sharona. And, as always, a great "Here's what happened...""

— Marissa (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “A humorous whodunit…The dialogue is pitch perfect, and the atmosphere of the television series is captured very well, except, instead of a single episode it feels like a two-part extravaganza.”

    " I have mixed feelings about this one for a variety of reasons. I love the principal characters and enjoyed the interaction between Monk's assistants Natalie and Sharona. I loved how the book ended. But overall, the story was convoluted (purposefully, I suppose) and left me feeling yanked around too much. Although the scene in the church kept Monk true to his quirks and compulsions, it upset me. Thankfully, it did not end in outright sacrilege. Also, the depiction of a Catholic priest breaking the sacramental seal of confession bothered me a lot. In no way, even after the death of the person who made a confession, is this allowed. There are far more helpful and informational resources on the Web that can elucidate the matter for those interested so I won't get into it from here. Overall though, the story was a great quick Monk fix. "
