Review - Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse

As we traveled to Philadelphia, I worked on and finished the latest book, Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse by Lee Goldberg.

This was the first book in the Monk series. It is not quite as good as the other, later books in the series, but good nevertheless.

The story is that since Monk's house is being fumigated, he moves in with his assistant, Natalie. When a local firehouse dog is killed, Monk investigates. He discovers there was also a fatal house fire on the same night and feels they are all tied together somehow. If only he could figure out how. So it takes digging through garbage to find out, plus making some powerful enemies along the way.

Again, I enjoyed the book. It's a fast and easy read, told from Natalie's perspective. Now it's on to Stone Cold by David Baldacci.
