Negative Positive
Title: Classic Monk
Review: This book had several places where I had to smile or laugh just picturing Monk in that situation. I particularly liked when Monk and Natalie have to search through mountains of garbage at the transfer station to find a piece of evidence. You have to read it to appreciate it. And in this book, Monk is staying with Natalie and Julie because his apartment is being exterminated by his landlord. That doesn't really go well. I actually think in the books that Monk is presented more obsessive and compulsive and more difficult to deal with than on the TV show. This storyline gives Natalie a little romantic bit too. And as always, Natalie is telling the story from her perspective. It actually gives you insight into Natalie's thoughts and feelings as she moves through her days with Monk that you don't get from the show. This story intertwines a house fire with the killing of a firehouse dog, the latter which upsets Julie and she asks Monk to investigate. Fun read. I recommend.
