I have not made a secret how much I love this series, and I really hope it goes on and on. The Jericho series is one of my all-time favourite thriller series. It's got no shortage of twists and turns and shocks and surprises, but it is also packed full of love and heart and beauty. I have also recently read William's latest non-Jericho book - The Boy I Love - which was a stunning piece of writing.

What I've loved about this series is seeing Scott Jericho's journey. Seeing him age, fall in and out of love, brush with death, and just progress personally and professionally. It also shows off William's writing and character creation skills.

I think what I love most about this series is that it's broken down barriers I usually link to crime protagonists. Jericho is a gay traveller. And I'm aware I haven't read every book in existence, but that was completely new to me in the first book, and I think it's really important to have such a character in a mainstream book. I don't want it to come across as patronising, but I think it's really important and powerful.

This one took a little while to get into the action but I quite liked that. It didn't feel too slow but gave me time to familiarise myself again with what happened in the previous book and with the characters.

This book gave Harry his own sort of side quest. I've always liked him as a character, always there supporting Jericho. But in this one, he gets to go on his own sort of adventure which opens him up a bit more as a character in himself, rather than just as Jericho's partner.

I can't say for certain, seeing as I have read them all, but I think you could read it as a standalone, but I do think you would lose some of its magic. Where it excels is in its progression, and so I highly recommend starting with book one.

This book is really...I was going to say clever, but that makes it sound like the other two aren't clever, which isn't what I mean. But it's less shoot-first-ask-questions-later. There's more investigation, deeper storytelling, more emotion, before it hits a crescendo towards the end. This shows William's ability to write great story and action, but also great characters.

It ends well and satisfyingly but I do wonder if there will be any more in the series (when you read the ending, you'll know what I mean). I do hope so as it's a really good series, but the way it ends...I won't spoil it, but it does give food for thought. But I, for one, would read this series forever.

The third in the Scott Jericho Series and whilst it could be read as a standalone, I definitely recommend reading the whole series in order, they are so good. After Jericho’s last case he ended up seriously injured and in a coma. He is still suffering from these events both physically and emotionally. This time out, at the request of his former employer, Mark Noonan, Jericho is looking for a missing relative of Noonan. Jericho is such a good character. Bought up in a fairground, ex police and former personal enforcer,he is now a private detective. It took me a bit longer to get into this book than the previous books but once I did I was hooked.

Briefly, the search for the missing man, Wesley, takes Jericho to Fenchurch-on-Sea on the Norfolk coast and a group of people, who as teens were part of a close knit friendship group. The young brother of one of them died as a child and his sister recently committed suicide. It was at her funeral that Wesley went missing.

This case is seeped in mysticism and local myth and there is a connection to Jericho’s family in the town. There are dark forces in this quiet seaside town and Jericho has a feeling of being watched, possibly by his nemesis and the epitome of evil, Garris. Although I really like Jericho his morals are becoming darker as the series continues, then just when you think he has gone too far you see his care and love for his partner and his old dog Webster. So I love him again! The red herrings are brilliant, the plot intricate and tight and the ending left me on a knife edge. Another cracking book.

Absolutely phenomenal. I’ve been a big fan of William’s work ever since the first Witchfinder book came out way back when. Watching his career grow and flourish has been a joy as he is such a great guy too! I’ve never been much of a crime fan but these books just do something to me and this book is no different. In fact, I would go as far as to say that it’s his best yet. More twists and turns than you can count, a plot that keeps you guessing right to the very end, and even then I guessed completely wrong. And a cliff hanger ending that has be absolutely gagging for the next one.

Brilliantly written. Fantastically paced. I could not have enjoyed this book more if I tried. Bravo, Mr. Hussey! Bravo!
