Mr monk and the voodoo Curse

I know I should just write about the conclusion of Mr monk and the voodoo Curse but I enjoyed this movie so much that I am going to just tell the story about it. Needless to say I am going to write the conclusion as well. (The story is in black and the conclusion is in blue.)
When I heard voodoo Curse, I thought the story is going to be scary which turned out to be true.
One day a boy hit homerun and the ball hit an elderly woman called Martha Murphy and she died. Everyone thought it was a total coincidence. However, when Martha's family went into her house to get things in order, they find a strange package. Inside the package, they find a doll with a baseball attached next to its head. Then, Monk is called to investigate this case. At first he thought it was coincidence as well but Natalie who is Monk's assistance, kept saying that the doll has real power. He didn't believe it at first but then there was another voodoo doll with lightening attached to its neck found at the dead golfer's house who was killed by lightening. And then there was another voodoo doll found at the dead man's house who got killed by heart attack. There was a woman named Angeline and her uncle was the victim. In that house, Monk found the horse shoe nailed upside down which actually should be nailed the other way.
Monk and police officer suspect the guy called Reverend Jorgensen, who sells the voodoo doll however he has perfect alibis. Later, Natalie was terrified when she found a voodoo doll that had her name on it. But, Monk found something strange. Natalie's last name was misspelled. The neck of the doll fell down when Monk hold it. Monk called Reverend Jorgensen to have ceremony to convince that Natalie will be fine. Then Natalie drinks the potion prepared which actually should be used for skin. Monk calls an ambulance and Angeline comes. She is a paramedic so she took Natalie. Right then, Monk remembers that Angeline was always on the newspaper and Reverend Jorgensen tells him that Angeline bought 5 to 6 voodoo dolls from his shop. Monk and Reverend Jorgensen chase after ambulance. In the ambulance, Natalie finds her name was misspelled and was frightened. Angeline tried to strangle her neck but Reverend Jorgensen ran into the ambulance car at right time and Natalie was safe.
Later, Monk finds out why Angeline was doing this and what happened. Her motive of doing this was to get a large amount of her uncle's money.
First, the crime was murdering. What happened was that Angeline mailed empty packages to herself and waited until there was a crime. When there was a crime, Angeline went to the spot to examine the dead person since she was paramedic. While investigating, she stole his/her key and later, she makes a doll and sneaked into the victims' house and put down the voodoo doll and the package. Since there was no one seen the crime, there were no witnesses. However Martha Murphy and golfer's death were just red herrings and Angeline's real purpose of making voodoo dolls was to make people believe that her uncle also died because of voodoo doll and nobody will suspect her. Angeline actually killed her uncle by using drug. She knew which drug she should use because she was paramedic. Inside the ambulance, Natalie found her last name misspelled and noticed she was the villian. The sense of danger can be found in the chase between Monk and ambulance.
This movie was really cool. I never watched Monk before. Maybe I should buy DVD and watch it.
