MONK GOES TO GERMANY Now Available! drian 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 must also confront someone who thinks Monk may have just gone officially insane—his own psychiatrist. ORDER THE BOOK from Amazon. HIGH PRAISE "I enjoy the TV show Monk, it's not too heavy and it has real mysteries being solved. It's just funny enough without over doing it. And while I love "Heavier" shows like the Shield and The Wire, Monk is a real nice way for me to unwind. Reading novelizations of television shows is an interesting experience. Not all are done well, but the ones that are really add to the depth of the characters and the enjoyment of the show. Among the authors who do "Tie in Novels", Lee Goldberg is among the best. Every nuance of the show is in the book, and because there are no constraints of having to film it the medium allows for an expansion of the stories. In MR. MONK GOES TO GERMANY Monk's Doctor is going away for a conference and a much needed break. Monk of course can't take it and before two days go by he's on a plane to Germany to keep his scheduled appointments with his doctor. And because this is Monk he soon becomes involved in a murder case. However, this murder may lead to the man who killed his wife. Goldberg has such an incredible way with words, the story flows so smoothly it's effortless to read, it's almost as if it was being read to me. And the plot has some wonderful twists and turns and is a perfect classic mystery. Whether you watch the show or not, you should really be reading these books."    —Jon Jordan, Crimespree Magazine "There is only one person in the world who would summon the police to report the theft of a missing sock. A left sock at that. That person would be the one and only Adrian Monk and the event would of course be reported by his winsome assistant Natalie. For me the only thing more fun than watching Monk is reading the adventures Lee Goldberg creates for him. The books set a high standard from the git-go and MR. MONK GOES TO GERMANY is my favorite so far. An eleven fingered man? Monk's shrink having to miss appointments so he can fly to Germany for long-planned conference? Monk and Natalie hopping a plane and flying to Germany so Monk can keep his shrink appointments? And the eleven fingered man keeping company with Monk's very own shrink, the same eleven fingered man who may well have murdered Monk's wife? As usual Mr. Goldberg not only keeps the story rolling, he also gives us a plenty of smiles and out-loud laughs along the way. This time he gives a sense of a foreign milieu as well, some very sly travel commentary from time to time. The Monk books take a series that is one of the best on TV and makes it even better. No small accomplishment. I can't wait for the next one."    —Ed Gorman, Bookgasm
