"With books this good, who needs TV?" CHICAGO TRIBUNEDiagnosis Murder #8: The Last Word
The final novel in the series...in stores now!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 WEEKLYMan 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

"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 CRIDERMonk #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.
