The Night Market by Jonathan Moore
3★
It’s late Thursday and Inspector Ross Carver is at a crime scene: a dead man covered in an unknown substance that’s eating through his skin. Suddenly, six FBI agents burst in and haul Carver outside and into a disinfectant trailer, where he’s shocked unconscious. On Sunday he wakes up in his own bed, his neighbor Mia—who he’s barely spoken to—by his side. He can’t remember the past three days. Mia says police officers brought him home and told her he’d been poisoned. Carver can’t disprove her, but his gut says to keep her close.It is partially mystery, partially science fiction, with a futuristic conspiracy theme that produces horrifying implications. The best I can say is that it was an entertaining read with likable characters that you can really care about, but the plot was very weird. I'm still not entirely sure what happened.
