    <body><![CDATA[It got me hooked on Monk and friends. What a change from modern mysteries/police dramas. The insight into period detail and how it relates to police investigation was nice, but I have found Perry is just a really good story teller.

Since it took place in England many years ago, it was interesting to see what their perception of policement was.  It is about a policeman who is in an accident and loses his memory and fears he has killed someone.]]></body>
