Beyond the Beyond - Kindle Edition
"As in his riotous novel My Gun Has Bullets, TV writer/producer Goldberg once again bites the hand that feeds him, laughing all the while. Inspired silliness," Publishers Weekly

"A whodunit thrill ride that captures all the charm, mystery and fun of the TV series... and then some" JANET EVANOVICH

Hollywood and Crime: Original Crime Stories Set During the History of Hollywood
"Top billing should go to Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch story, 'Suicide Run,' and to Lee Goldberg's 'Jack Webb's Star'—the former for the detection and the latter for biggest laughs." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Man With the Iron-on Badge
"As dark and twisted as anything Hammett or Chandler ever dreamed up...leaving Travis McGee in the dust" KIRKUS REVIEWS (Starred)

Monk #1: Mr. Monk Goes to the Fire House
"It's funny, with some great Monkisms, and tightly plotted, the characters are expanded beyond their TV confines, and there's even a clever twist at the end. How TV tie-ins should be," The Works Magazine (UK)

Monk #2: Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii
"Goldberg makes Adrian Monk much more interesting than the TV version," CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Monk #3: Mr. Monk and The Blue Flu

Monk #4: Mr. Monk and The Two Assistants
"Even if you aren’t familiar with the TV series “Monk”, this book is too funny to not be read. Goldberg’s comic genius is channeled by Monk throughout and the truth of the crime is always worth waiting for..." THE WEEKLY JOURNAL

Monk #5: Mr. Monk in Outer Space
"I've never seen so much as a single scene from the television series. So why do I enjoy Lee Goldberg's books about the character so much? Well, let's see. They're funny, they're well-written, they're carefully plotted, and they're poignant. They probably have other good qualities, too, but those should do for starters." -- BILL CRIDER

Monk #6: Mr. Monk Goes to Germany
"Goldberg has such an incredible way with words, the story flows so smoothly it’s effortless to read, it’s almost as if it was being read to me. And the plot has some wonderful twists and turns and is a perfect classic mystery. Whether you watch the show or not, you should really be reading these books." Jon Jordan CRIMESPREE MAGAZINE

Monk #7 Mr. Monk is Miserable
"Series fans will find much to enjoy and celebrate. And for everyone else there is a neat, surprisingly literate and well-written mystery starring a most unlikely crime solver." -- Alan Cranis, Bookgasm

Monk #8: Mr. Monk and the Dirty Cop
"Monk is my all-time favorite comic detective and Lee Goldberg has honored him by writing some of the finest tie-novels ever conceived." - Ed Gorman

Monk #9 Mr. Monk in Trouble
Coming in December!
