Monk has finally achieved some measure of balance in his life, and uncharacteristically now wants to help his agoraphobic brother Ambrose in the same way. Perhaps his new relationship with Trudy's daughter, Molly, is having an impact. So he talks Natalie into helping him with a most unusual birthday present for Ambrose: they give him the outside world, albeit against his will at first, as they rent an RV, dope Ambrose with a knockout cupcake, load it with his home furnishings, and kidnap him as he sleeps onto the open road. What follows is a journey of discovery for all three of them, although of course they encounter a series of murders along the way (which includes the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Yosemite, Big Sur and Route 66). The story is by turns touching, humorous and suspenseful, and it's a pleasure to find that the series conclusion hasn't ended these books. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Understandably, Ambrose is at first furious over being abducted from his home, but begins to relax as the trip progresses. He marvels at the sights and sounds of the outside world. During their travels, the trio encounter two murders that naturally intrigue Adrian, but he is reluctantly dissuaded by Natalie from participating in their investigation. They are on vacation, after all. Along the way, they meet several interesting characters in various trailer parks and are nearly run off the road by an enraged tractor trailer driver.
It isn’t until they reach Vegas that Detective Monk has an epiphany and realizes that all of the events and people they’ve encountered have a deadly connection…
This story takes place after the end of the television series and the events of the final episode are summed up in the first chapter. If you have never seen the final episode, you may wonder what on Earth would inspire Adrian Monk, a man whose phobias are surpassed only by his brother’s, to take a sightseeing tour in an RV. Well, let’s just say that both Detective Monk and his brother has overcome some of their fears, have loosened up a little, and realized there is more to life than solving puzzles and disinfecting everything in sight–except for the RV’s bathroom and dinette table, of course.
Hats off to Lee Goldberg for yet another marvelous Monk mystery. I’ve read about six of his Monk novels to date and have never been disappointed. ( )
