I read the latest book based on the Monk TV series, Mr. Monk is Miserable. I love the Monk books almost more than the television show itself. The secondary characters seem to have more defined personalities in the books.
This book takes place right after the last book, and like the last one, has Monk visiting another country (this time he’s in France). These are my favorite Monk stories. Even the television episode where Mr. Monk goes to Mexico (which was written by the author of the Monk books) is among my favorites. It’s always great to see Monk cope with his phobias when he is in a foreign environment.
