Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Doll Curse

In class today we watched the last 10 minutes of an episode of monk. Yesterday the rest of the class watched the beginning but I wasn't there so my report is all on what I think happened and the elements of a mystery in that episode.

Monk had many elements that make up a mystery and one of them was the problem, crime, wrong-doing, whatever you want to call it. In this case it was the death of Robert Boyd ,who had been set to look like he had a heart attack even though it was murder. His death was in a series with 2 other people though the other 2 weren't murdered.(Or at least the 2nd one, the 1st one was a homicide) The next element was the person who solves the crime. This of course was the obsessive detective Adrian Monk. Then all crimes begin with a villain. The true villain in this episode turned out to be Robert Boyds neice, Angeline Doerth though she had the alibi of he's my uncle, why would I kill him and I was upstairs when I heard a scream. The suspect was the voodoo shop keeper because all the dead people were found with a voodoo doll. The other 2 deaths acted as a red herring towards Monk. He struggled to find how these 3 people were connected, they weren't. Another red herring was when Angeline sent Monk's sidekick, Natalie a voodoo doll with a head cut off. This freaked Natalie out because each voodoo doll of each victim had the death of the person symbolized on it. For example the first person who died was hit on the head with a baseball. The little voodoo doll had a little voodoo baseball attached to it's little voodoo head. So Natalie's doll told her her head was going to be cut off. This is a red herring because it becomes Monk's priority to keep Natalie under control, safe and un-cursed. There was suspense in this story when Monk was chasing Angeline who was trying to kill Natalie. The twist in the end was when Monk put the story together gathering information like the evidence-which is Angeline was in the newspaper with the second victim who got zapped by lightning-and the motive-which was was money. Angeline's uncle had a fortune and she intended to get it. When Monk put this all together he saw the truth.
