I finished A Master of Djinn by @pdjeliclark last week. If someone had told me this was a murder mystery I would’ve read this book sooner! Set in an alternate-world, magic has been unleashed upon the world once more after eons of endless slumber. Years later in 1912 Cairo, a rich source of magic and magical entities, has overtaken the largest empires to become a ruling country on the world stage. Against this backdrop Fatma el-Sha’arawi, the youngest woman to work for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, is brought in to investigate the murder of one of the highest ranking businessmen in the city. This story has magical creatures that are entirely human, humans that are entirely bestial, magical zealots, sultry djinn, well dressed detectives and a murder mystery that will keep you guessing throughout! A brilliant story that captures the mood of an Agatha Christie mystery if she’d co-wrote it with Scheherazade. #bookstagram #books #amasterofdjinn @orbitbooks_uk #pdjeliclark https://www.instagram.com/p/CcCzFi3McbR/?utm_medium=tumblr
