On a return trip from Germany, Monk and Natalie stop over in Paris. They visit the catacombs - a vast, underground cavern in the center of the city, lined with millions of ancient human bones. Monk picks up a skull and announces that this person was murdered - by a modern weapon made in the last few years. He thinks someone hid a recent murder victim among the old bones.

As Monk starts to investigate the crime, he uncovers another murder that involves a society of "dumpster divers," people who live commerce-free off the waste of society. It might just be the last straw in Monk's visit to Paris.

I am a fan of the show Monk, and found the concept of a Monk novel enjoyable; it reminds me of a Gregory Maguire novel.

The story has a good rythm and pace in which envisionment of the characters and situations are clear.
The Humor in the book is very "Monk-ish".
I did notice, however, notice that the author has an obsession with the word "said" in "he said, she said" this made it a little hard to endure those talk back moments.
A better narrator could have been chosen, even with the volume on my Ipod on a lower setting her voice was a little harsh in a "third grade teacher scolding" type of way. I dealt with the narrator and listened to the whole novel. (try listening to the sample before purchasing)

Overall this is a must for Monk fans.

I enjoyed the novel very much and hope that Audible will carry more audio book versions of the Monk novels.

Very entertaining

I enjoyed the book and learning about Paris catechomes. Monk as usual encounters murder where ever he goes. The reader did a good job znd even sang Dish's song. If you like Monk you will enjoy the story.

Monk finds murder again

I found the narrator to be a bit harsh. I prefer the other narrator. I wonder why she didn’t record all the books. The story was hilarious, as usual.

Narrator, meh.

I love the Monk series. It's fun, entertaining, and clean. Lee Goldberg writes so well that these books can stand alone or work as an addendum for those who enjoyed the television series.

Mr. Monk is Miserable finds Mr. Monk in France with Natalie. Naturally, he solves a murder while attempting to clean up Paris. This is a great book if you need a good laugh or if you just want something light to take your mind off of things.

Laura Hicks did a decent job with the narration, but I thought it could have been better. That may be unfair of me, as I tend to compare her voice with that of the television character's voice. I found her voice a little grating and sing-songish at times, especially when it came to performing the voices of other characters.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one. May Lee Goldberg write books forever!

Fun, well-written mystery

The narrator had such a great voice and her french pronunciations made me feel like I were there.
