Days of Night

By: Jonathan Stone

Narrated by: Christopher Lane

When retired police detective Joe Heller is called in to investigate what might be Antarctica's first murder, he quickly discovers that winter at McMurdo Station comes with a unique set of challenges: darkness, isolation, and the eccentric behavior of the research facility's 157 inhabitants. But a difficult investigation turns much tougher when all communication with the outside world is suddenly cut off.

While Heller works diligently to reconstruct the scene of the crime, evidence mounts that a pathogenic event could be ravaging the rest of the planet. As night descends, fear mounts, and confusion reigns, the killer strikes again. If this is a global cataclysm, is someone now picking off the human race's few remaining survivors? Is this the end of the world - or just the end of Joe Heller's?

Ignore the negative reviews

I really liked this story. I’ve been having trouble finding a book I’d be interested in. This one broke that impasse. And I really enjoyed the delve into the protagonist’s thoughts. Some listeners found this unnecessary. I found it helpful to the story and the location of where it took place. I don’t think that many people realize that Antarctica though a part of this planet is really a separate world. A world we still don’t completely understand. This story helped me see the continent differently.
The mystery was satisfying and unexpected. The narrator was flawless. I would listen to other books he has preformed.

Really Enjoyed!

This was pleasant surprise. I took a chance, considering some of the poor reviews. The fact that the story takes place in Antarctica during the long night, is already atmospheric and lends an air of mystery and intrigue. I liked the detective’s inner musings as he comes to investigate a possible murder, as the musings gave more details and a broader picture of what was going on. It turns out that he may be pursuing a serial killer, confirmed by the mounting body count. I also liked the narration.

Not a bad book but

The book just goes inside his thoughts so much. The twist and turns were good but so much inner monolog can be a little to much.

suspenseful

well written. lots of suspense as story shifts. charters were all interesting and believable. great read

very slow to start

I'm glad I finished it, but the story was very slow until chapter 20ish. possibly the narrator, and possibly a combination of the narrator and the story
