Someone in a starship uniform has very publicly gunned down the show's legendary creator, Conrad Stipe. Could a fan be that furious at him for selling out to an exploitative Hollywood producer? Or was there more going on behind the scenes in Stipe's life?

"I really enjoyed the t.v. series, so I figured I would give the books a try, and I'm glad I did. I actually laughed out loud reading this. "
— Lesa (5 out of 5 stars)
“Lee Goldberg takes our favorite neurotic deep into the lives of those involved with the cult TV show.”
— Bookgasm.com" If you like the Monk TV series, you'll like the book. It reads just like an episode of the show. If you're not a fan of the show, you probably won't understand the book at all. I like the series, ergo I liked the book. It was fun, although it's never going to win critical acclaim. "

— Yian, 3/2/2010" A story about one of Monk's many cases written in Natalie's point of view. "
— Cole, 12/9/2009" Another fun book in the Monk series, but not my favorite. It has funny details about obsessed fans of a sci-fi show, and I liked the part where Monk makes a possible step in his progress toward becoming more compassionate. "
— Heather, 11/19/2009" The Monk books are so much fun. Loved the satirical banter about TV Sci Fi in this one. "
