Murderous Wife (Monk)

The unnamed Murderous Wife is a villainess mentioned in "Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf," episode 3.06 of Monk (airdate July 30, 2004). She is the main villainess in Sharona Fleming's short story, The Fatal Recipe.
In the short story, the longevity of the wife's marriage isn't revealed, but as Sharona stated in the episode, the wife murdered her husband by poisoning his tomato soup. The villainess used an untraceable poison to commit the murder, as well as cover her tracks, though a motive isn't revealed. The story played a pivotal role in the episode, as after Sharona's creative writing teacher, Meredith Preminger, received the story from Sharona, Meredith turned heel by using The Fatal Recipe to kill her own husband, Maxwell Preminger. The villainous wife's method in the story was used by Meredith in her own scheme, and while Meredith ended up arrested, the fate of the villainess in Sharona's story wasn't revealed.
