Adrian Monk is feeling strangely satisfied these days-and he'd like his agoraphobic brother to feel the same way. So he takes Ambrose, against his will, on the open road in a motorhome. Little crimes pop up along the way and Monk can't resist getting involved. Nor can he help sensing a pattern that reveals the hand of a serial killer at work on this highway to hell.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Adrian Monk suffers a severe case of obsessive compulsive disorder so intense that he is a walking encyclopedia of phobias that makes it impossible for him to operate in the outside world without assistance. With Natalie's help, Monk, a former cop, earns a living as a consultant to the police mostly SFPD. He actually has recently found relief because t the murder of his wife Trudy back in 1997 has been solved. To celebrate, Monk decides to visit his agoraphobic brother Ambrose for his sibling's birthday.
Monk wants to show the world to Ambrose who has not left his home in years. He puts sleeping pills in the cake and places a knocked out Ambrose in his RV camper. Shockingly Ambrose awakens and is not raging at his brother. Along the highway, Monk finds crimes that he cannot ignore though Natalie refuses to allow him to solve them because this is Ambrose's time. Instead Monk silently works the puzzles in his head until he finds a frightening pattern of a serial killer in the area.
Lee Goldberg is the grandmaster of capturing the essences of TV mystery shows' personalities as he has done with Monk through eleven novels and Diagnoses Murder. He does it again with this brisk Monk road show as the multi-phobic hero hits the highway with his agoraphobic sibling and his assistant Natalie. On the road, Monk solves crimes as Natalie pleads with him to take a respite and enjoy the scenery, but though she keeps them moving so he cannot narrowly focus on a crime rather than the trip she ends up also assisting him when she can no longer ignore him. Fans will enjoy the brisk ride as the siblings (and Natalie) get out of the house, sort of.

Mr. Monk and the Motorhome
15. Januar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Since he's finally solved Trudy's murder, Monk is almost content. And he wants to share that with his brother Ambrose, so he hatches a scheme to kidnap him and take him on a road trip in a rented motorhome. With Natalie along as the navigator, they set out to explore California and possibly even Arizona.
But this being Monk, he can't go on vacation without a mystery or two. Things start out simple enough when Monk explains the mystery behind the popular Mystery Spot on the central coast. But can he deal with leaving a murder scene when Natalie insists they continue their trip?
This is the first book to be set after the conclusion of the TV series, and it picks up from the conclusion. A new character, a replacement for Disher, is introduced, and I really like her. Even Molly gets to make a brief appearance before things really get started.
My problem with this book is that the mystery felt forced into the story. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching Ambrose, Monk, and Natalie interact. In fact, watching Ambrose discover so much of the world was enough to keep the pages flying. I want to go on a road trip and see these things again for myself. But Monk is a mystery show, and I had hoped that aspect would turn out to be stronger. Yes, some of the episodes of the show had pretty light mysteries as well, so this isn't a huge issue. As I said, I still found the book hard to put down and very fun.
Those like me still mourning the loss of the show will be entertained with this fun visit with familiar characters. I'll definitely be back for the next visit.

Natalie and Adrian's Excellent Adventure
10. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
For Monk fans this story is a real treat as we have the addition of Monk's brother Ambrose as a main character. The interaction between the three is an integral and enriching part of the story. I also loved the travelogue sub theme. This book was a simple pleasure to read and very relaxing!!
