Diagnosis Murder #1: The Silent Partner
"A whodunit thrill ride that captures all the charm, mystery and fun of the TV series... and then some" JANET EVANOVICH
Diagnosis Murder #2: The Death Merchant
"For those who have, as I do, an addiction to Mark Sloan, Lee Goldberg provides a terrific fix. Will cure any Diagnosis Murder withdrawal symptoms you might have had." SJ ROZAN
Diagnosis Murder #3: The Shooting Script
"RX for fun! Lee Goldberg's Diagnosis Murder series is the perfect prescription for readers looking for thrills, chills and laughs. I know I'll be standing in line for my refill!" MEG CABOT
Diagnosis Murder #4: The Waking Nightmare
"Can books be better than television? You bet they can -- when Lee Goldberg is writing them. Get aboard now for a thrill ride," LEE CHILD, author of the Jack Reacher novels.
Diagnosis Murder #5: The Past Tense
"What a great book! I enjoyed it tremendously. It's a clever, twisting tale that leaves you guessing right up to the heart-stopping ending." LISA GARDNER, bestselling author of ALONE
Diagnosis Murder #6: The Dead Letter
"More plot twists than a strand of DNA," ELAINE VIETS
Diagnosis Murder #7: The Double Life
"With books this good, who needs TV?" CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Diagnosis 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 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
"Goldberg's succinct writing style -- with an emphasis on witty dialogue, laugh-out-loud hijinks, and nonstop action -- will make a devoted Monk fan of anyone who picks up this surprisingly entertaining read." BARNES & NOBLE 'RANSON NOTES'
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
Coming in December 2008!
My Gun Has Bullets
"It will make you cackle like a sitcom laugh track. Goldberg keeps the gags coming right up to the end.”—ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
