**Monk's out on the open highway--but crime is a hitchhiker that won't be ignored. **

With his job secure and his wife's murder finally solved, Adrian Monk is feeling strangely...satisfied. He'd like his agoraphobic brother Ambrose to feel the same way, so Monk puts a secret ingredient in Ambrose's birthday cake: sleeping pills. When Ambrose wakes up, he's in a motor home on the open road with Monk determined to show him the outside world.
But Ambrose isn't the only one struggling to let go. As little crimes pop up along the highway, Monk can't resist getting involved. Now it's up to Monk to stop a murderer from turning their road trip into a highway to hell.

### Review

Readers of Monk *will enjoy *Mr. Monk on the Road *as much as or more than any of the *Monk* books that have preceded it. Heartily recommended*. --Gumshoe Review

*Lee does a perfect job of capturing all of the wonderful characters and making them as alive on the page as they were on the screen* ----Lorie Ham, Kings River Life Magazine

*This is probably the best *Monk* novel that Lee Goldberg has written by far, plain and simple, it's flat out awesome!* --Gelati's Scoop

*The jokes are funny. The human relationships are serious and treated with dignity and respect, and the mystery aspect is solidly there. This is another fine entry in a spin-off series that's taken on a life of its own* --Bill Crider

### From the Back Cover

**PRAISE FOR LEE GOLDBERG'S *MONK* NOVELS**

""No one else could capture these characters and bring them to life on the page the way Lee Goldberg does!"-- **King's River Life Magazine**

"Goldberg makes Adrian Monk much more interesting than the TV version: the twitches are less obvious, the outcomes much less predictable. Even (or especially) the secondary characters are more interesting and have sharper dialogue."--***Chicago Tribune***

""The only thing more fun than watching Monk is reading the adventures Lee Goldberg creates for him. The books set a high standard from the get-go." ***Crimespree Magazine***

"Full of snippets of slapstick humor and Monk's special talents for observation," ***Library Journal***

"This latest hilariously funny and devilishly clever  novel about TV's obsessive-compulsive sleuth Adrian Monk is an impossible crime lover's delight! Very funny and inventively plotted," ***Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine***

">"Throughout the Mr. Monk series author Lee Goldberg has always kept a firm grasp on exactly who his characters are, and he is able to expertly play them against one another to the best dramatic and comic advantage," ***The Gumshoe Review***

"You'd be hard-pressed to find another recent work that provides so many hip and humorous moments."*** Bookgasm*** ( )
