Mr. Monk (book series) (also known as the Mr. Monk mystery novel) are a collection of nineteen novels that tie in to the Monk television series and which were written by Lee Goldberg and Hy Conrad, both of whom were writers for the television series. The series continued well after the show they were based on had been cancelled.
The novels, set during the Natalie Teeger era of the show (Season 4 onwards) and the period between the end of the show and Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie, follow Adrian Monk and Natalie working on different cases. For the most part, the novels remain faithful to the television series, with slight discontinuity. This is because while Goldberg always adhered to the established continuity of the television series, the television writers ignored the continuity of the novels. Moreover, as stated in the author's notes to Mr. Monk and the Two Assistants and Mr. Monk and the Dirty Cop, due to novels having longer lead times than television episodes, episodes contradicting a novel's events sometimes aired even before the novel reached store shelves.
