" I am so far very unimpressed with this book. First we start with the author using something from a television show - Dx Murder, where the patient kills her surgeon using her own body. Then we move onto the very obvious...Natalie's friend is getting married, but Monk doesn't stop the wedding until he is off his medicine, then he points out the glaringly obvious: 1. the man has never been to Austrailia (he states that it was blazingly hot in July when it would have been cold), 2. he never worked a commercial trawler (swordfish do not have teeth and do not bite and are only fished for sport)3. He is not in his 20's (he has a mark from smallpox vaccination which stopped in 1972), 4. He could never have worked for the peace corps, because they never went to the place he claimed he went to. I am sorry, but I caught the swordfish and Austrailia and knew he was not who he claimed to be. It had some very funny parts just like in the show. But it was a fun read, but not something that I would say is excellent. Given to the author's bad attitude for my not marking the entry for spoiler alert, because there was more to the book than what I wrote about, but he is very angry man. "
