This book was a quite delightful, entertaining story. It doesn't reinvent the wheel in terms of murder mysteries and I was able to figure out who the culprit was pretty early on, but this did not hinder my enjoyment of the story at all. There are some truly laugh-out-loud moments, it has a great Sapphic romance, the history and world-building are wonderful, it tackles some very real-world issues, and it has just all-around interesting characters that I definitely want to spend more time with. ...more

Easily my most fun read of the year so far. It’s a murder mystery, a romance, a buddy-cop comedy, a steampunk fantasy set in an alternate early-twentieth-century Cairo, and a parade of sharp suits.
