The Ferris Wheel
6 April 2024
Stottlemeyer brings his friend, Detective Adam Kirk, to meet the informer John Gitomer in the Carnival to learn where a load of drugs will be delivered. Gitome insists to go to the Ferris wheel with Kirk and, out of the blue, start to scream that Kirk wants to kill him. The operator Kitty Malone stops the Ferris wheel, Kirk leaves the seat and Gitomer is found dead, stabbed in the chest. Monk is waiting to be released by the board to be detective again, and Stottlemeyer asks him to secretly investigate what happened in the Ferris wheel since Internal Affairs is investigating Kirk, who is a crucial witness against the criminal Leonard Stokes. Soon Monk resolves the case but Stottlemeyer's evaluation is not he is expecting.

"Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival" is another well resolved case by Monk. The story is mysterious, and Monk's sense of observation easily resolves the case. The DVD released in Brazil by Universal has a ridiculous and shameful translation for Ferris wheel ("roda gigante" in Portuguese, translated as "roda Ferris"). My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "O Sr. Monk Vai ao Parque de Diversões" ("Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival")
