Synopsis

Adrian Monk is actually doing well lately. He is solving murders as fast as they come, and he has 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 sqare—the man he's never stopped searching for. The man with six fingers. The man responsible for his wife's death. Or did Monk just imagine crossing paths with him?Now, in a foreign land full of, well, 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.

Goodreads review by Jenn on September 21, 2019

I loved this! I was not sure at first that it would be the series for me. I was put off by the lead voice not being Monk, but being Natalie. But I was wrong. It’s delightfully told by her. And Monk is hilarious! I can picture Tony Shaloub playing the Monk in this book. The voices are brilliant, the......more

Goodreads review by Susan on April 30, 2013

Fans of the TV series will enjoy all the Monk books. The characters take on a slightly different personality in the books than they do in the show, however. Mr. Monk seems a little less human and Natalie seems a little more edgy. The books also have more objectionable elements than the shows do, whi......more

Goodreads review by Cheryl on January 09, 2009

My GoodReads friend Donna was reading this book and I'm so glad I saw the update--I'd had no idea that the Monk book series existed! As a major Monk fan, I had to give it a try, and I was not disappointed. Monk's voice and actions are spot-on and hilarious and I thought the narration by Natalie was p......more

Goodreads review by Ken on February 17, 2017

This is the fourth Monk book I've read this year and either I'm beginning to burn out on the series or the tales are becoming repetitious. The premise of Germany is a good one, but it is flawed. Monk flies to Germany with Natalie to chase down his therapist and while there finds what he thinks is ev......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on April 02, 2020

I did not enjoy this book. Monk and Natalie are out of character. They are quite harsh and there aren't many redeeming qualities to speak of. You read a book based off a TV show for the characters and tone and other comfortable markers that tell you you're expanding your enjoyment of the TV show with......more
