Popular TV character Monk returns in this latest TV tie-in mystery book. Natalie is taking a break from studying for her PI license, the last step to becoming Monk's full partner. She sneaks off to Half Moon Bay for a retreat run by Miranda Bigley, leader of the Best Possible Me self-help program, but her plans for a relaxing weekend are disrupted when Monk tracks her down to rescue her from the 'cult.' Their argument is cut short when Miranda, in full view of everyone, calmly walks to the edge of a cliff and jumps.
