Some people think Hawaii is paradise, but Monk knows that danger, like dirt, lurks everywhere. Look at Helen Gruber, the rich tourist who took a fatal blow from a coconut. The police say it fell from a tree, but Monk suspects otherwise. His assistant Natalie isn't exactly thrilled about Monk's latest investigation. It was bad enough Monk followed her on vacation, and now it looks like the vacation is over. Smooth-talking TV psychic Dylan Swift is on the island and claims to have a message from beyond-from Helen Gruber. Monk has his doubts about Swift's credibility. But finding the killer and proving Swift a fraud-all while coping with geckos and the horror of unsynchronized ceiling fans-may prove a tough coconut to crack.

Even though the books were written after the airing if the TV show, the books are a whole lot better. And also funnier. If you've not seen the show I suggest you watch it first and then read the books. This is #2 out of 19 (allegedly there ring no more )
Adrian Monk is so uncharacteristically Adrian Monk in this.
- He somehow forgets Hawaii is part of the US, multiple times
- His backwards attitude towards Hawaiians and their culture
Kind of a slog to get through and I didn't like his characterization.
