Master of Djinn by P Djeli Clark (2021) Little Brown Book Group

A steampunk/fantasy/mystery with djinns who have become Egyptian citizens before World War I (the Ottoman Empire still exists).  George Alec Effinger would have been proud to read this.  We have touches of each genre, advanced magical technology, fantastic creatures, a mass murder, a megalomanic who wants to remake the world in their own insane image, a heroine who prefers to dress in dapper British men’s’ clothing who is in love with another woman, and a partner who is both a strict Muslim and an avid feminist.
