P. Djèlí Clark: A Dead Djinn in Cairo 4 stars

Review of 'A Dead Djinn in Cairo' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

What a breath of fresh air! Which is a weird thing to write about a story set in the sandy streets of an alternative 1912 Cairo, in which supernatural beings are murdered and packs of ghouls roam at night.

A well-paced, clever P.I. story, with great characters and touches of original world-building that make you want to see a lot more. A good thing that there's a sequel to it, "The Haunting of Tram Car 015", which I'll get into right away. Can't wait!
