Product Description:
The brand-new mystery series starring the brilliant, beloved, and slightly off-balance sleuth from the USA Network's hit show!
Monk's house is being fumigated, and he has nowhere to go. Fortunately, his assistant Natalie and her daughter are kind enough to welcome him into their home. Unfortunately, their home is not quite up to Monk's standards of cleanliness and order.
But while Monk attempts to arrange his surroundings just so, something else needs to be put straight. The death of a dog at the local firehouse-on the same night as a fatal house fire-has led Monk into a puzzling mystery. And much to his horror, he's going to have to dig through a lot of dirt to find the answer.

Lee Goldberg, who writes these novels, brings freshness and a tender appreciation of troubled people and their idiosyncrasies. The Monk novels are rich with humor, which makes them perfect antidotes for the blues, bipolar disorder, St. Vitus Dance, neurosis, and ... Read More

"Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse" was adapted into the MONK episode "Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing," written by me & William Rabkin. There are some significant differences between the two (eg Monk isn't blind in the book), but if you have seen the episode, you may experience some deja vu, so please don't operate heavy machinery while reading the novel.
(This note will appear in future editions of the book, beginning with the sixth printing, coming this summer).

I am a brazilian Monk fan, and I was eager to read Monk's novel after I become addicted to the show. As I should import the books, it took me some while to get them. I chose this very book, after reading some reviews, and I wasn't surprised to see the links between written and filmed Monk. Actually, I was expecting to see it, and it is one of the features that I like the most on this book. But the main catching thing is that the written story allows us to go further than the limited view from the ... Read More
