Robert Thomas

Robert Thomas was a French writer, actor and film director. As a writer, almost from the beginning, he was fascinated by a curious genre that he helped invent: the comédie policière or comedy thriller, of which Eight Women is an example. In 1960, Thomas had a hit with Piège Pour un Homme Seul, a humorous murder mystery which was an overnight success in Paris.

Wurster tells Monk about a murder that took place at Medford four years earlier and Monk soon finds himself on the case.
