Mr. Monk Goes to Germany

By: Lee Goldberg

Narrated by: Angela Brazil

Adrian Monk is actually doing well lately. He's solving murders as fast as they come, and he's been noticeably less compulsive - he doesn't count his morning Wheat Chex until they're in the bowl. Progress is progress, and Monk knows he owes it all to his therapist, Dr. Kroger. So when Dr. Kroger attends a conference in Germany, Monk ends up in trouble. He can't tie his shoes, forgets how to swallow, and loses track of his blinking. Desperate to regain his footing, Monk follows his shrink to Germany. And that's where Monk sees the man across a crowded town square. The man he's never stopped searching for. The man with six fingers. The man responsible for his wife's death. Or did Monk imagine crossing paths with him? Now, in a foreign land full of…foreigners, Monk must deal with his multitude of phobias and contend with an especially unfriendly polizei department in order to find the six-fingered man. He also must confront someone who thinks Monk may have just gone officially insane - his own psychiatrist.

good, but...

I really liked that the reader's voice is so close to Traylor Howard's. It sounds as if Natalie is narrating the story. My one complaint is that Dale the Whale's last name is pronounced buy-der-beck, not bee-der-back. Bix lives...

Up, Up and Away

Though we laugh at Monk and the way he chases he Psychiatrist all over, though you must feel for a tortured soul that just can't heal. . Really nice afternoon listen. Enjoy.....

Enjoyable but not as good as the show

Overall enjoyable but not as good as the show. Slow build and then the story felt rushed.

If you loved Monk, you'll like this

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The story is true to the characters from the TV show. Since the Monk characters are so well known to the reader, you fall right into the story quickly. Although the mystery has some nice plot twists, the book is not great literature, I and I would not recommend it to a friend who was not already a fan of Monk.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The obsessive/ compulsive detective lives on - on the big screen.

hilarious

Just a great book. If you like the show this is better. There's a part that I laughed till I cried.
