    About this audiobook

    Set amidst Victorian London's seamy, fog-shrouded underworld, Jonathan Barnes' The Somnambulist is a "superb debut [that] raises the bar for historical thrillers" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Meet Edward Moon, an illusionist and detective who operates solely with the aid of his hulking, mute sidekick. "[A] cheeky tale . salvaged from the sensationalist novels of the past three centuries."-New York Times

    Jonathan Barnes

    Jonathan Barnes's own poor eyesight, combined with his biologist's curiosity and his frustration at previously published accounts of the Bates method, caused him to write Improve Your Eyesight.
