Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii MR. MONK GOES TO HAWAII

onk follows Natalie on her vacation to Hawaii and sets out to investigate murder, car thefts, burglaries, missing candy from the minibar and, scariest of all, towels that are rolled instead of folded. Famed television medium Dylan Swift is eager to help Monk in his homicide investigation—by providing tips from the great beyond from the victim's themselves. Monk thinks Swift is a fraud but solving all those crimes...all while coping with geckos and the horror of unsynchronized ceiling fans...may prove a tough coconut to crack.

HIGH PRAISE

"Everyone rings true... MR. MONK GOES TO HAWAII is an entertaining and ruefully funny diversion that stars one of television's best-loved characters, and because it's a mystery novel, it will stick long after you've forgotten the plot of the latest "Monk" episode."
   —Burl Burlingame, Honolulu Star Bulletin

"I really enjoy Lee Goldberg's writing. I really like what he's doing with Monk. He adds more depth to charaters I already love. And because of the format, he can make it intricate as well. In Goldberg's talented hands, Monk is even more clever and more astute. He's also even more human. Goldberg writes the character so well I wonder if maybe he doesn't share some quirks? I doubt it, but the writing is so good you would think so. Goldberg is a wonderful writer and I look forward to more in this series featuring my favorite compulsive detective."
   —Jon Jordan, Crimespree Magazine

"A surprising number of my friends and relatives love the Monk TV series so much that they ask me to get them signed copies of Lee Goldberg's books based on it. Judging by this latest outing, where the weird cop follows his assistant, Natalie, on holiday, they're on to a good thing. Goldberg makes Adrian Monk much more interesting than the TV version: the twitches are less obvious, the outcomes much less predictable. Even (or especially) the secondary characters are more interesting and have sharper dialogue."
   —Chicago Tribune

"Natalie's point of view provides an unexpected and delightful twist. Goldberg nails Monk's intriguing and complex character. Natalie and Monk's interactions are laugh-out-loud funny. Find MR. MONK GOES TO HAWAII and take a humorous trip through murder and deceit!"
   —Myshelf.com

"You don't have to be a fan of MONK or to have ever watched an episode on television to enjoy this fast paced, witty, quirky, yet charming suspense. Mr. Goldberg has once again captured the nuances and idiosyncrasies of Mr. Monk and of OC (obsessive compulsive) sufferers. Mr. Goldberg makes us laugh as he takes us on Monk's wild Hawaiian ride solving numerous crimes. Only Monk could find a paradise like Hawaii to be a health risk, and barbaric—roasting a pig in the ground? Mr. Goldberg gives us just enough clues to let us be MONK if we dare....I read this book in one sitting and loved every moment of it. I felt the tug of heart strings with Mitch and Trudy. I laughed, I was sad, I plotted who done it, but mostly, I loved it! An excellent escape, a great read."
   —Futures Mystery Magazine

"MR. MONK GOES TO HAWAII is filled with inspired goofiness, rich characterizations, an intricate mystery and a lot of fun. You probably won't want to put it down until it's over and that's way too soon...this one is also told from the perspective of Monk's assistant Natalie Teeger. In fact the author has settled so comfortably into her voice you almost expect to see her name on the cover. This is the kinder, gentler Natalie she's grown to be on the show. This is the Natalie I'd like to spend more time with: funny, strong, loving and vulnerable."
