Title: Money Can Buy Anything
Review: This is my first exposure to the obsessive-compulsive detective. Like Colombo, you know who the killer is, and the fun is discovering how the detective proves it. While I loved Peter Falk asking questions posed by his boss or wife (wink-wink) I found Tony Shalhoub’s composure to be annoying and irritating, especially with him seeing dead people. Hey, just ask them who did it. Monk is retired and attempts to solve a non-case of the death of Griffen (Austin Scott) who was to marry Monk’s step-daughter Molly (Caitlin McGee). His suspect is Rick Eden (James Purefoy) who owns an Amazon like company. Griffen had accused Eden of murdering his former partner.Having not seen the Monk series before I failed to grasp any old jokes or connections. I had the case figured out an hour before Monk. Not good.
