this book was a great entry in the Monk Buttman Mystery series, it had what I was looking for in a mystery novel. I was hooked from the first page and it didn't let go until the end. The story was what I was hoping for and really enjoyed going through this. The characters were interesting and I loved that Monk was a grandfather and still solving mysteries. I enjoyed the way David William Pearce wrote this and was excited to read more from him.
