Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii is the second novel based on the Monk television series. It was written in 2006 by Lee Goldberg.

[edit] Plot summary

Like the first novel in the series, Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse, the novel is narrated by Monk's assistant Natalie Teeger.

Monk follows Natalie on her vacation to Hawaii and sets out to investigate murder, car thefts, burglaries, and, scariest of all, towels that are rolled instead of folded. Famed television medium Dylan Swift is eager to help Monk in his homicide investigation—by providing tips from the great beyond from the victims themselves. Monk thinks Swift is a fraud but trying to solve all those crimes...all while coping with geckos and the horror of unsynchronized ceiling fans...may prove a tough coconut to crack.
