Western Approaches - Softcover
No one liked Jake Kinsey. A rich man, he turned up out of nowhere, acquired Exmouth's trophy penthouse flat and then bought his way into the local rowing club. And now he's dead. D/S Jimmy Suttle, a newcomer to the Devon and Cornwall force from his old job on Major Crimes in Portsmouth, is the one detective who suspects that Kinsey has been killed. His boss, beset by budget cuts and the pressure of other cases, needs to move on. The enquiry is dead in the water. Suttle's wife, embittered by the move to a remote country cottage, is threatening to decamp with their daughter Grace. Worse still, the deepening shadow os a killing related to Jimmy's old life in Pompey is creeping ever closer.

Review:
Skillfully combining murder mystery and police procedural drama with a West Country travelogue, this is a satisfying read. * SUNDAY MIRROR * 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 * This is another cracker from Graham Hurley...This is a very good opportunity to climb aboard and savour this writer's very addictive series. Brilliant. * CRIMESQUAD * 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 *
