I went into The Haunting of Tram Car 015 with some caution, as I knew that we weren’t going to be following the marvelous Fatma. However, I was delighted to find that I still adored this book and the grumbling veteran cop/overly eager rookie duo!

This book is much more of a classic novella length, and therefore we got to see much more of the world, especially the modern culture of Cairo versus the traditional beliefs and folklore. I loved the way that this book managed to blend the two, reminding me much of the enchanting opening pages of City of Brass, one of my absolute favourite books. The rich world that Clark continues to build on the pages is so mesmerising and his characters continue to be absolutely marvelous. I don’t want to say too much here, as this is also a mystery story, but I loved the plotting and outcome of this story.
