Review of 'Haunting of Tram Car 015' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Just long enough to whet your appetite, in an alternate history Cairo that is a collision of modernity and history. (In this context, "modernity" means "modern, Djinn-powered technology".) Agent Hamed is middle-aged, and gives off a faint air "I'm too old for all these new-fangled things" that isn't so regressive that it made me annoyed with him. He's like 'I guess it's time for women to get the vote?' but also happy to get help from various women in exorcising the haunted tram car.
