A Dead Djinn in Cairo is the prequel to the Dead Djinn Universe novel series. It is a work of science fiction and fantasy. The author of this title and the series is P. Djeli Clark. He is an American historian and writer of speculative fiction. Ring Shout is a historical fantasy by the author and it won multiple awards including British Fantasy, Nebula, and Locus awards. The Haunting of Tram Car 015 is another significant title from the American writer.
The narration of A Dead Djinn in Cairo is done by Suehyla El-Attar. This performance has a gorgeously textured pleasure for the listeners and the vocal quality was that of somewhat abraded silk.
The story of this book is set in Cairo, Egypt and the year is 1912. Enchantments, the Ministry of Alchemy, and the Supernatural Entities investigated a range of disturbances and abnormalities between the divine and the mortal.
The thing that initially started as a weird suicide case for Fatma el-Sha’arawi, the Special Investigator led her right through the underbelly of the city. She came across saucy assassins, rampaging ghouls, clockwork angels, and an enormous plot that could unravel the time itself.
Clark has done an amazing job as the author of this book. The narration of the book then comes as another strong part. The narrator was able to personify both the people and places while doing her best to make them come alive. The listeners will feel as if they are traversing through the deep and dark night of Cairo. The book is a must for young adults and all those who are looking for something special in fiction and fantasy.
