A bit silly but fun, 20 November 2006

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

The crime itself is a bit dumb (the murder, first seen by Benji - Sharona's son - turns into a hunt for the body, which seems to be moved around a lot) but the whole idea of Monk not being able to relax at a beach resort is cute. His involvement with the hotel security chief, whose only training seems to be from film noir movies is amusing enough, especially once she uses a gadget that shows up human bodily fluids (blood, mucus and semen as she explains until Monk tells her to stop) that the naked eye can't detect. She uses Monk's hotel room as a test and he, of course, goes into germ phobic meltdown. The concluding moments are nice as Monk resolves the case - but unbelievable - but this show isn't about reality.
