Trumpets of Jericho by Logan Christie

A gritty modern tale of crime, love, desperation, and survival, Trumpets of Jericho by Logan Christie is a darkly prophetic novel, in which one man finds his voice in the dwindling twilight of a broken world. Richly penned with expressive descriptions and lavish prose, Christie also boasts a critical tongue unafraid to call out hypocrisy in our modern times. The tangled relationship between Candace and Simon is chaotic and alluring, and while the narration is occasionally filled with “the cliché musings of a millennial Midwesterner,” there are also thought-provoking moments about purpose, connection, trust, alternative relationships, and everyday insecurities. With a fearless authorial voice and a whip-smart way with words, Christie knows how to grip the reader, but also drop truths, in this dystopian take on modern life.
