It grabbed me from the first few pages and I was pulled into the lives of these characters, especially detective Jimmy Suttle and his estranged wife Lizzie, a journalist. Hurley shares my views on the whole western involvement in the war in Afghanistan and the terrible sacrifices made for misguided political reasons. Unfortunately, I realized part way through that this was the second book in the series, and I really should have read the first one first. By then there was no way I was putting this one down, so I will read Western Approaches also, even though I now know some of the plot. Highly recommended. An exciting and puzzling mystery! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Three unrelated, random killings. Or something much, much worse? Graham Hurely's new crime thriller unleashes a serial killer; combining Hurley's talent for ultra-realistic, character driven police-procedurals with a plot powered by an explosive ticking clock and kicking his books into a new realm of tension and fear. Jimmy Suttle has barely got his feet under the desk at his new job. Having flown in the face of his superiors on his first big case he now finds himself trying to track down a random, hugely skilled killer before another innocent dies and before the media tear the force apart. Full of a sense of place, sensitive to the deep rooted agonies of a policeman alone and facing disaster, and close to, and with a chilling understanding of the motivations of the killer this is a bravura piece of crime fiction.

Here is a fast-paced thriller in which three apparently unconnected killings do have in some way to be linked. Here is the story of a still-married couple as they get used to living their separate lives, and of Jimmy's friendship with his lodger that goes distressingly wrong. It's a really engaging fast-paced police procedural with added human interest. A good read. ( )
