Main character wasn't as novel as A Dead Djinn in Cairo but still plenty affable and competent while still being humble enough to seek unconventional help. More fun secondary characters this time around though. The world is as colourful and imaginative as ever. Didn't feel compelled to follow the mystery too closely - this is my beef with cozier mysteries in general - but it was clever enough and the atmosphere was brimming with enough humour and warmth to keep me entertained.
