Summary
Bringing 1950s Morocco vividly to life, Jane Johnson's masterful new audiobook, The Black Crescent, is a gripping story of murder, magic and divided loyalties...
Hamou Badi is born in a mountain village with the magical signs of the zouhry on his hands. In Morocco, the zouhry is a figure of legend, a child of both humans and djinns, capable of finding all manner of treasure: lost objects, hidden water.
But instead, Hamou finds a body.
This unsolved murder instils in Hamou a deep desire for order and justice: he trains as an officer of the law, working for the French in Casablanca. But the city is trapped in the turmoil of the nationalist uprising, and soon he will be forced to choose between all he knows and all he loves...

Love this book, you should definitely download it.
I rarely leave reviews, but I loved this book and it has no other reviews! Can't understand why.
Fantastic interweaving of plot with events around Moroccan independence, which is something I knew little about. The narrator was perfect, his voice was just right.
The main protagonist was someone you really rooted for, and a small touch of mysticism was in keeping with the story. Lots of strands that were very satisfyingly drawn together. Sort of a detective story, but actually much more.
