Order of Monk Books
Monk is a series of television tie-in mystery novels by American author Lee Goldberg and Hy Conrad. The novels are based on the comedy/drama series starring Tony Shalhoub that ran for eight seasons for a total of 125 original episodes. The title character’s full name is Adrian Monk (played by Shalhoub), who worked for the San Francisco Police Department until his wife was killed in a car bombing that he believed was meant for him. This incident caused him to have a breakdown (amplifying his OCD), leading to him eventually working as a private detective.
The Monk TV tie-in series began in 2006 with the novel Mr. Monk Goes to the Fire House. The series is currently ongoing. Below is a list of the Monk books in order of when they were first released (which is also their chronology):
