Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Linda Fairstein returns with a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that takes Alexandra Cooper into the dark underside of New York City’s most storied restaurants and a murder case spanning continents.
In her 13 best sellers, Linda Fairstein has taken millions of fans inside sinister worlds that most of us can’t even imagine. Thanks to her extensive experience as a New York City prosecutor, she creates situations that are stunning for both their compulsive readability and their authenticity. Taking Alexandra Cooper into the fascinating world of New York City’s most beloved and storied restaurants, Night Watch continues her tradition of breathtaking suspense storytelling.
Forty-eight hours after Alexandra Cooper arrives in France to visit her boyfriend, the famed restaurateur Luc Rouget, her vacation in paradise is cut short when a young woman from the village is found murdered. The only evidence discovered on the body is one of Luc’s matchboxes promoting his new restaurant in New York. But before the investigation begins, Alex is summoned back to New York to handle a high profile case.
Mohammed Gil-Darsin, the distinguished and wealthy Head of the World Economic Bureau, has been arrested and accused of attacking a maid in his hotel. As the world watches in fascination to see how the scandal will unfold, Alex finds her attention torn between preparing the alleged victim to testify and a murder case with ties too close to home. A second body is found with Luc’s matchbox - this time in Brooklyn - and Alex begins to fear that the two cases may not be as unrelated as she thought, and that uncovering the sordid secrets of the city’s most wealthy and powerful could cost her and her loved ones everything they hold dear.

"Well worth a credit!"
In fact I have nominated Night Watch for my Book Club, and I feel sure it will generate a great deal of discussion, both around the book and the broader issues of abuse.
I found the book to be quite gripping, awfully credible and was engrossed right through to the end. Excellent narration helped. The unfolding of the story provided an insight into controlling and abusive behaviours and to the almost inevitable effects, both short and long-term on the victim and others in her orbit.
There are good lessons for us all in being more observant of others' health and well-being and providing support where it is (rather obviously, in this case) needed.
An excellent listen.2 of 2 people found this review helpful -

"A great mystery with humor and bits of history"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?I love the series. The 3 main characters reveal an interesting and realistic working relationship. I thought the beginning was a little slow, but after Alexandria left for the US, it really picked up pace.
What did you like best about this story?I am not a history buff, but presented the way it is in this book makes it so interesting.
What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?Barbara Rosenblat is great!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No, but that is not my style.

"A little disappointed."
Up until now I have enjoyed every book of this series. Barbara Rosenblat, is as always an excellent narrator, and brings all characters to vivid life, love her. The story line, which is good, but has way to much filler stuff that we can do without. Got a little tired of all the dialog and visiting restaurants, without much meat in the story. As always there is a lot of history thrown in here and there, which I enjoy a lot, but in this book, it just goes on and on. Get the feeling the book could have been a couple of hours shorter and still get to the point quite nicely. Still one of my favourite series, but hopefully the next book will be a little more to the point.

"Disappointing"
I look forward to new additions to the series but this was a big disappointment. Alex whined through the entire book. She was so annoying that I considered not finishing it. She has always been such a strong female character - I don't know why Fairstein wrote her personality this way in Night Watch. Barbara Rosenblat is my favorite reader but even she shouldn't redeem this.

"An interesting story that was well told."
Would you consider the audio edition of Night Watch to be better than the print version?I enjoy the audio edition as I am in my car a great deal of the time. I prefer audio books.
What other book might you compare Night Watch to and why?John Sanford's mysteries.
What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?I love Barbara Rosenblat. Her performances are always very good. I look for her as a reader.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?I had no extreme reaction to the book.
