Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Goldberg's seventh novel based on the popular cable TV series fails to capture the spirit of actor Tony Shalhoub's portrayal of Adrian Monk, the brilliant obsessive-compulsive former SFPD detective traumatized by his wife's unsolved murder. To be fair, so much of the show's humor derives from visual gags that translating the character's fastidiousness and quirkiness into print would be a challenge for any writer. After a trip to Germany to track down his shrink, detailed in Mr. Monk Goes to Germany (2008), Monk takes a detour to Paris at the instigation of his long-suffering assistant, Natalie Teeger. Like Jessica Fletcher of Murder, She Wrote, Monk can hardly go a day without stumbling over a corpse. En route, he solves the in-flight murder of a fellow airline passenger. Once in Paris, Monk visits a sewer museum, where he notices a fresh skull amid a pile of centuries-old bones. This one's likely to divert only die-hard fans of the TV show." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:More compulsive, page-turning fun in this all-new, original mystery starring the popular TV detective. Monk already ruined a trip to Germany for his longsuffering assistant Natalie. The least he can do is accompany her on a detour to Franceaand try not to ruin that too. In fact, Monk throws Natalie for a loop by announcing that he wants to visit the sewers of Paris. The historic underground maze of pipes and tunnels is famous for making the City of Light sanitary, and to Monk, thatas worth paying tribute to. The only problem is that their explorations lead them to another hidden world below the Parisian streets: the catacombs, filled with aging skulls and bones. Monkas sharp eye catches sight of one skull thatas not so oldaand that shows evidence of murderapulling them into a case more twisted than the catacombs themselves. Synopsis:Adrian Monk and Natalie are in Paris, touring the shadowy catacombs lined with millions of centuries-old bones. Of course, Monk notices one particular skull, declaring that the person had been killed very recently. Now Monk must catch a cunning killer.
