Killing Jericho (William Hussey) – Book Review – Set The Tape

Nevertheless, as Isaac Asimov points out in Asimov’s Guide to the Bible: The Old Testament by Isaac Asimov, there may be something to the psychological warfare the Israelites waged on their opponents. Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. William Hussey is in top form in his latest novel Killing Jericho. Scott Jericho lives on the periphery of society in a community of traveling circus folk. After serving time in prison Scott is trying to leave the past behind him, but a professor reaches out to him to find out who has committed a number of recent murders. Scott is intrigued and begins to investigate. Dark, exciting and full of twists, KILLING JERICHO sets the stage for a unique detective.” Alex Smith, author of the bestselling DCI Kett thrillers These ‘squatters’ were people of genetic ‘mixture’. Not created by God, but more, were attempting to thwart Gods plan, to destroy Gods nation, to deny the land God allocated to his people. Genetically ‘mixed’ people can not be ‘saved’ - only what God created can be redeemed - by God.Many Old Testament miracles plausibly have their roots in more down-to-earth happenings, and scholars have suggested that the fall of Jericho, if it happened at all, was the result of an earthquake that fortuitously coincided with the Israelites’ invasion of it. I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

Killing Jericho by William Hussey | Waterstones

Killing Jericho needs to be on every crime fiction fans list, it is written extremely well by William Hussey, you can feel his love and passion for his people (the son of a travelling showman himself) and it is an important book within the travelling community and also the LGQBT+ community, and I really hope that Killing Jericho wins prizes and gets the recognition that is so deserved. I read this as part of a serialisation on The Pigeonhole. I read the first 50% at the same time as my fellow "Pigeons" and was enjoying it till life got in the way. I binge read the final 50% today, and all I can say is WOW!! Joshua said to the two men ( AE) who had spied out ( AF) the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her. ( AG)” 23 So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her. ( AH) They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.The only person who will be kept alive is Rehab, a prostitute (and anyone else she lives with). This is because she acted as a fifth column for the Israelites and secretly took in the messengers Joshua smuggled into the city: At the core of this book, there is an effective mystery. There is a sort of clueing to what is going on – people saying the wrong things, odd happenings that make sense if you look at them the right way, that sort of thing – and the plot contains at least one genuine surprise. Having said that, there is one thing that really should have been questioned from the start that never seems to be until it is too late. Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man ( A) standing in front of him with a drawn sword ( B) in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” This book kept surprising me just as much as it kept teasing me throughout the story as a whole. Everyone a potential suspect you often didn't want to be guilty. Scott was the epitome of the anti-hero; disgraced, on the brink of death, full of apathy for a life that has deserted him, haunted by the one he couldn't save, promises he couldn't keep.
