Always enjoy whenever Ambrose is part of the story. The "here's what happened' was unfortunately implausible and resulted in a thud of an ending. ( ) The economic crisis has hit California hard, forcing the SFPD to fire Monk as their consultant. This happens at the same time that a Ponzi scheme wipes out Mr. Monk's savings, and he is evicted from his apartment. Natalie is also facing an uncertain future, as Monk's sole employee, and heroically sticks with Mr. Monk as she tries to find a job that the two of them can work together. This meets with mixed success (employers love Natalie, can't stomach Monk's obsessions), and the tensions highlight the strength and vulnerability of their relationship while Monk tries to prove that Bob Sebes, the orchestrator of the Ponzi scheme that ruined him, has somehow killed several potential witnesses against him while under house arrest. Another enjoyable entry in the series, which almost makes up for the show having said its goodbyes. no reviews | add a review

In the midst of a financial crisis, the SFPD fires Adrian Monk as a consultant. Monk figures he can live off his savings for a while. Then Natalie learns that Monk invested his money some time ago with Bob Sebes, the charismatic leader of Reinier Investments, who's just been arrested on charges of orchestrating a massive $100 million fraud. All of Sebes' clients including Monk are completely wiped out financially. When the key witness in the government's case against Sebes is killed, Monk is convinced that Sebes did it, but the man has been under house arrest with a horde of paparazzi in front of his building 24/7.
