Product Description
‘Tis the season of good cheer throughout the world, but with only ten days to Christmas, on a bitter December afternoon eight-year-old, Tracy Uphill goes missing. Read by David Jason.
Detective Inspector Jack Frost, Denton Police Force’s scruffiest officer, knows they only have a limited time to find her – and he’s also got to nursemaid Detective Constable Cliver Barnard, whose uncle just happens to be the Chief Constable.
Then the bodies start to pile up and a crime committed many years before leads a murderer to kill again.
R.D. Wingfield is in pulse-racing form as his always irreverent, always likeable hero with the common touch discovers whodunnit and why.
Read by David Jason, star of the major TV series A Touch of Frost.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
As soon as I starting reading I was encaptured in Detective Frosts' world. You are there everywhere he goes pleading for him to have good luck or for someone to recognize that without him Denton (his Police District) would be full of criminals, weilding knives. The story is full twists of and turns and has times of great spirit and comedy together with utter dispair. There's something humanistic about Frost. Even though his so scruffy and crude you have to admired his honesty and love his character. These words can't explain how much I enjoyed reading all of the Frost books. I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I've read. Frost is a modern Socratic figure with the power and character to find the truth under the mess of everyday life. Thank you Mr Wingfield. I wish I could give it six crowns.

I enjoyed the book. The story is condensed and involved me. I liked the build up and the way Frost's character is portrayed, with all his flaws and weaknesses. It makes a refreshing change to have a detective who falls short of expectations of his nearest and dearest and admits to unhappy family life.
After a brilliant start and engaging first few chapters the story was dilluted and the suspense lost only to recover in the later chapters.
I did not like that the decisions that Frost took were based mostly on his intuition (no powers of deduction, alas). I did not enjoy the erotic scenes between the characters either and did find that these do not fit within the story, hence the 4 star rating.
Overall, this is a good book to curl up with at Christmas.

I really enjoyed this book. I have always been a fan of the TV programme but Frost at Christmas has prompted me to purchase the remaining books in the series. My only regret is that there are so few!

Excellent product. David Jason does a great job reading this audio book. It being the abridged version of the book does not affect the listening.
