The Night Market

By: Jonathan Moore

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

It's late Thursday night, and Inspector Ross Carver is at a crime scene in one of the city's last luxury homes. The dead man on the floor is covered by an unknown substance that's eating through his skin. Before Carver can identify it, six FBI agents burst in and remove him from the premises. He's pushed into a disinfectant trailer, forced to drink a liquid that sends him into seizures, and is shocked unconscious.

On Sunday he wakes in his bed to find his neighbor, Mia - who he's barely ever spoken to - reading aloud to him. He can't remember the crime scene or how he got home; he has no idea two days have passed. Mia says she saw him being carried into their building by plainclothes police officers, who told her he'd been poisoned. Carver doesn't really know this woman and has no way of disproving her, but his gut says to keep her close.

A mind-bending, masterfully plotted thriller - written in Moore's "lush, intoxicating style" (Justin Cronin) - that will captivate fans of Blake Crouch, China Mieville, and Lauren Beukes, The Night Market follows Carver as he works to find out what happened to him, soon realizing he's entangled in a web of conspiracy that spans the nation. And that Mia may know a lot more than she lets on.

Can’t believe there aren’t more reviews

This book was great. Don’t know what genre it was exactly, but it definitely was engaging and I really liked the ending.

interresting

good story, different. seems like might be ripe for a sequel. I very much like the narrator. I would buy the next book if there is one in the series.

Thought provoking concept good performance.

I don't listen to much science fiction, but found this book interesting and thought provoking

Unnerving

This adventurous, well-written "future noir" has echoes of Philip K. Dick's work, among others. It's a strange odyssey, suspenseful, mysterious and full of creative twists, not one of which I'm willing to spoil for you here. The future San Francisco Moore describes in this book is grim and the author has something to say about the direction in which humanity is headed. I definitely recommend this one.

not far off from where we stand now

a good story with an ending that leaves one unsatisfied, in my opinion. still, worth lisyening.
