My favorite things about this episode: the film noir-ish jazz playing when Monk and Bronwyn have a toothpick (since they can't have cigarettes, of course), and the fact that Bronwyn keeps making references to crime movies she's seen as a basis for her detective work. "You do have nonfictional police experience, don't you?" Adrian asks. I may not be quoting verbatim, but you get the idea. Polly Draper's excellent, as is the guy who plays the hotel manager, Graham Harley. And Tony, Bitty, and Max Morrow as Benjy all deliver the goods as usual. I also love that Monk believes Benjy and supports him all the way.
