A Dead Djinn in Cairo (Fatma el-Sha’arawi, #1)A Dead Djinn in Cairo by P. Djèlí Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A rich taste of UF set in 1912 Egypt, with all the magical goodies you might expect from that part of the world.

It's a classic mystery with a host of the divine and not-so-divine. I suppose I would be MORE interested in a longer tale or a full series rather than this short taste, but from what I've read, I did enjoy it.

Looking forward to more.
