Featured review
Beware the crooked Christmas cookies and unseparated diner food
The mystery plot in this snowless Christmas episode is weaker than usual, and the script as a whole is relatively slack; but Dan Hedaya is a welcome presence as Monk's truck driver father, whom Adrien is meeting for the first time since he was eight, and whom the audience is meeting for the first time ever. The engaging Christie Lyn Smith makes an impression in the small role of Val the secretary.
