Monk - Season One; Adrian Monk.

Finally, a TV show worth watching! Adrian Monk is the world's favorite "defective detective." He has a mind and memory that can piece together even the smallest clues to solve the most challenging crimes. The catch? It turns out that Monk is a little bit more human than the rest of us. He has one or two minor phobias and still sees the world through the eyes of a child wronged on the playground.

The show is on USA network. Overstock has the first season on discount. You can also download Monk on iTunes for $1.99 an episode.

Eagle Catcher; Margaret Coel, pages 275.

Margaret Coel's latest book (2003) invites us to the gaming tables that have sprouted up in Indian reservations around the country. You can bet that Vicky Holden and Father John will both end up approaching the same crime from different angles, and that their paths will meet in the end. The interesting part of the dance, however, is the cast of characters that they meet along the way. The cast includes underworld crime bosses, crazy religious zealots trying to save indians from the evils of gambling, and the typical cast of FBI agents and tribal leaders that typify Coel's works.

Thus Was Adonis Murdered; Sarah Cauldwell.

An English writer, Sarah Cauldwell gives the world a series of highly styled mysteries of manners. In her first work, Thus Was Adonis Murdered, Ms. Cauldwell presents us with what might best be called a tea room of socialites trying to solve the mysteries hidden within the correspondences of a young Julia Larwood--a tax barrister who traveled to Florence in some infinitely complex twist of emotions and the Tax Finance Act. The letters grow deeper, and we soon find ourselves entrenched in a mystery that only the esteemed Hilary Tamar, Cauldwells hero, is able to solve.

The book is subtle, and highly stylized--with an extremely dry wit. I found it a bit of a task to read, but it was an interesting voyage. Just, be prepared for a very unique writing style.

The Eagle Catcher; Margaret Coel, pages 241.

Margaret Coel carries on the tradition of Tony Hillerman. She sets her mysteries on the Arapaho reservation in Central Wyoming. Coel's books are good, simple, short reads. There is an ongoing plot between her main characters Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley. I found it is best to start with her first books to get the full flavor of the plot.
