Three random killings. Or something much, much worse?

DS Jimmy Suttle is trying to get his life back on track. His marriage has fallen apart and he rarely sees his young daughter, Grace. But then a murder shuts the door on the chaos of his personal life...

The victim was shot through the head at the wheel of his car on a lonely moorland road. The only witness? His two-year-old son, strapped into the rear child seat. Within days, two more killings, equally professional, equally without motive.

Meanwhile, Suttle's estranged wife is embarking on an investigation of her own in the world of journalism. But the story brings her to the question at the very heart of Jimmy's case - what does it take to make a man kill?

Review

In all his [Hurley] books, the humanity of his police officers is as important as their ingenuity as detectives, in fact it is their sensitivity that makes this thriller... admirable rather than tasteless... the second in the new series, is as thought-provoking and vivid as his previous writings ― LITERARY REVIEW

Hurley is a giant of British police procedural novels, and with Western Approaches we find an author on top of his game. As good as, if not better than Peter James and Ian Rankin. -- Mark Timlin ― CRIME TIME

Graham Hurley's determination to look the seamy reality full in the face is refreshing because so rare...Hurley's devastating account of Suttle's marriage is one of the best things he has done. -- Jake Kerridge ― DAILY TELEGRAPH

Skillfully combining murder mystery and police procedural drama with a West Country travelogue, this is a satisfying read. ― SUNDAY MIRROR

TOUCHING DISTANCE is a storming read and is yet another fantastic addition to an already addictive series ― CRIMESQUAD

Not the best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2018

I loved the first book in this series, so decided to pay more than I would normally for a kindle book, to read this one. Unfortunately, it didn't grab me as much as the first, and makes me reticent to buy the third. Graham Hurley is an excellent writer, and some of his books are among my favourite reads. I'm disappointed at the price of this authors downloads tho. For fans of Graham Hurley: try some of his standalone novels. Rules of Engagement is excellent and I have re-read this several times.

To be perfectly honest I would have to re-read this book to review it properly and I don't have time for that. It is years since I bought it having read the other Graham Hurley series of police procedural novels; the ones where the main character topped himself in self pity. Not giving too much away, it was years ago. Anyway, I am sure that I liked it although I haven't read any more since then, if they have been written; I must have another look and see.

had forgotten how good a writer he is

I have read most of the previous series of books some years back, so it was great to rediscover Graham Hurley 's Suttle series. He writes well, spins a very good, structured and plotted story with an economy of style and an absence of obvious filler. Convincing dialogue is a bit of a speciality for him.
Excellent!

What a relief!

Like just about everybody else, I was very worried by 'Western Approaches' and wondered what Hurley's writing future held. I couldn't just leave him after all these years could I? And thankfully, it's paid off as this shows him totally back on song. Certainly his best for a while, having at last ditched Bazza, Faraday and Portsmouth [well, almost]. Suttle is sorting out his problems and the future of these novels in the west country seems assured. I thought the plot in this one was very topical and dealt with real and serious issues irrespective of the plot itself which was excellent. Great stuff - now I can look forward to the next one.

Will she or won't she?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2014

Verified Purchase

Jimmy Suttle has clearly moved on to pastures new in the Devon constabulary, but has his wife? As tense and exciting as ever, and leaving plenty of new plot possibilities. I'm so into Jimmy Suttle now that I've forgotten the name of his old boss, you know, the birdwatcher single parent with the deaf son. Full of detective work and fast paced. I even found the romantic bits moving. Should suit Ian Rankin, Mark Billingham, John Harvey et al fans.
