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)

A dead djinn in Cairo
Wonderfully written, excellently narrated, a brilliant adventure in 1912 steampunk Cairo over one action filled night. The protagonist and support characters are fleshed out, the magic is subtle and the plot unfolds at a steady pace. Well worth a listen to. Five stars.

Loved the narrator!
Suehyla El-Attar, the narrator really brings the story alive. Immersing the reader through both her tone, cadence and voices for each character. Highly recommended, though it's a shame she did not narrate the second book.

Impeccable
I loved every second of this story. The world building, the mystery, the hunt for clues. The detailed bits about Djin, ghouls, and Angels.
Fatma's wit is so good, as are her suits. And before we knew it, the end of the world was nearing and she and Siti had their work cut out for them.
Suheyla's narration brought the story to live so well.

Captivating
Enjoyed the lyrical storytelling set in Cairo and the way the narrator told the story. Found myself captivated, intrigued and laughing out load, didn't want the story to end.

This novella was absolute perfection, as was the narration. There is nothing I would want different. I'm excited to learn more of this world and read more by P Djeli Clark!!
