About this audiobook
"[Narrator Amin El Gamal] does a masterful job of animating these desert denizens...What results is a suspenseful treat." — Audiofile Magazine
A novice assassin is on the hunt for someone killing their own in K. A. Doore's The Perfect Assassin, a breakout high fantasy beginning the Chronicles of Ghadid series.
Divine justice is written in blood.
Or so Amastan has been taught. As a new assassin in the Basbowen family, he’s already having second thoughts about taking a life. A scarcity of contracts ends up being just what he needs.
Until, unexpectedly, Amastan finds the body of a very important drum chief. Until, impossibly, Basbowen’s finest start showing up dead, with their murderous jaan running wild in the dusty streets of Ghadid. Until, inevitably, Amastan is ordered to solve these murders, before the family gets blamed.
Every life has its price, but when the tables are turned, Amastan must find this perfect assassin or be their next target.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a solid adult fantasy novel, featuring ace protagonist, set in a desert fantasy type of world. Amin El Gamal has done a great job narrating this audiobook. I’m rating it three stars because the book was fine but it didn’t gripped me. However I do think I’ll be listening to book2 in the series because it’s narrated by my favorite narrator.
