Retrieve JObject member from a JArray using SelectToken

I have the following json parsed into a JObject:

JObject json = JObject.Parse(@"{
    ""event"": {
      ""name"": ""daniel""
    },
    ""markets"": [
      {}
    ]
 }");

With that JObject I'm trying to retrieve the empty JObject that's in the markets JArray.

I'm currently trying json.SelectToken("$.event.markets[0]") but that's not working, it returns null rather than the empty JObject that I expect.

Is there a way to get that empty JObject by using the SelectToken || SelectTokens method? I'd prefer to stay away from using linq, but if I must I must.

This should be json.SelectToken("$.markets[0]") instead of json.SelectToken("$.event.markets[0]") as markets is not contained within the event object.
