Newbery Medal Award Winner 1931
A little cat and a compassionate Japanese artist bring about a miracle. "One of the thirty 20th-century children's books every adult should know."--The Horn BookThis is right up my alley. A lovely story of compassion with Asian flair. It also included beautiful illustrations and short songs.
I think those who like Buddha teachings would find this interesting.
In the midst of a financial crisis, the SFPD fires Adrian Monk as a consultant. Monk figures he can live off his savings for a while. Then Natalie learns that Monk invested his money some time ago with Bob Sebes, the charismatic leader of Reinier Investments, who's just been arrested on charges of orchestrating a massive $100 million fraud. All of Sebes' clients-including Monk-are completely wiped out.Man, did I have a great big smile when I stumbled into this book at the library. I love the Monk TV series and hadn't realized there were books too! This one didn't disappoint me. It was classic Monk funny!! I was totally picturing all the characters and enjoyed the read! This is the kind of mystery/detective stories I like ... clean language, funny, and clever. I get a big thrill at Mr. Monk's summations ... if you've watched the series, you know what I mean. :)
When the key witness in the government's case against Sebes is killed, Monk is convinced that Sebes did it, but the man has been under house arrest with a horde of paparazzi in front of his building 24/7. Monk may be broke, but he's got plenty of time on his hands to solve this latest mystery... (Goodreads)
A definite treat for Monk fans because as I understand it, the books are stories between the TV episodes so they're new cases. How cool is that?!
