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
