About this listen
"With impeccable inflections and tones, El-Attar's narration embodies the quirky investigator and those who surround her. She personifies both the place and the people, making them come alive. Listeners will imagine they're traversing Cairo through the deep, dark night. This is a perfect listen for those who are short on time but want a thrilling audiobook." (AudioFile Magazine)
Egypt, 1912. In an alternate Cairo infused with the otherworldly, the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities investigate disturbances between the mortal and the (possibly) divine. What starts off as an odd suicide case for Special Investigator Fatma el-Sha’arawi leads her through the city’s underbelly as she encounters rampaging ghouls, saucy assassins, clockwork angels, and plot that could unravel time itself, in P. Djèlí Clark's Tor.Com Original, A Dead Djinn in Cairo.
"Suehyla El-Attar’s narration has the vocal quality of slightly roughened silk, a gorgeously textured pleasure for the ear." (Locus)

Fantastic little tale
A dead Djinn, deep worldbuilding, fun and lively characters, all in such a perfect bite sized package! Narrator was fun and had such good humour and pacing. A must have, especially for the price!

Historical Magical Realism
Set in turn of last century Cairo, but a steam punk alternate Cairo.
Fatma deals with a very unusal murder mystery. I cannot wait for a full length novel in this universe

Oh FANTASTIC
I loved it very interesting the bending of our actual history to work here. The lead character is written stunningly I look so forward to more I very highly recommend it. Not much else one can say. Well... Okay, so the way Her world is so very differently written and you completely feel like you get shots of Deja Vue, dans sa vie comme la tiennet - {in her lifetime as yours} It is so amazing how the author put women in what some say are untraditional jobs and lifestyles it was a great book to hear. I hope to own it in hardcopy.

Was over almost as soon as it started
The premise wss original, the setting wss intriguing, we learned a lot about the characters appearance, and just was beginning to settle into the story and hopefully getting to know the characters better, it was over. The narration was well done.
