By: Lee Goldberg

The husband of Monk's former assistant, Sharona, has been arrested for murder. Now back in San Francisco, she's 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.

Best book yet!!!

Got nostalgic seeing Sharona back! I loved the relationship between Natalie and her, and I love how Natalie didn’t try to replace the character and copy Sharona’s personality, but rather have it her own spin, amazing!!

Different as Night and Day

It great to have two people care so much about your well being.... except if your Monk. Then it's confusing. Nice play between Natalie to Sharona. Makes you listen non-stop. Good one.

Nice twist, but not nice

Fun story line and twist at the end but Lee Goldberg’s writing is extremely queer-phobic in this story and fat-phobic in others. It’s a real turn-off.

Good job

First off, let me say that I have yet to be stumped by who the killer is. I treat it like a mental exercise. But more than that, I figure out exactly how they did it to the letter every time. This one is different, because while I knew the killer instantly upon them being introduced, the piece of evidence that nails them eluded me and was a great a-ha moment. Excellent job.

Six Stars for the Narrator

She nailed Shirona...so easy to tell her and Natalie apart! I love the TV series and I love these books! I enjoy the references to the TV cases, even if this book ignores some facts. Just suspend disbelief and sit back and enjoy!
