Product Description

Review
"What impresses me most is the extraordinarily vivid interplay between the police characters. Frost himself is splendidly drawn." -- "The Times, London."

Product Description
A young boy is found dead in a rubbish heap, suffocated and with one finger cut off. Another boy is missing. A psychopath is stabbing babies as they lie sleeping in their cots. A fifteen-year-old has been abducted, then found naked by the roadside. The corpse of a petty criminal is discovered, with the tops of three fingers chopped off. The small children of a carpet fitter are murdered; his wife's body is found on the railway line. A supermarket MD is sent a ransom demand for the missing boy, accompanied by one of the child's fingers...Jack Frost, scruffy and insubordinate, foul-mouthed and fearless, staggers from crisis to crisis, his bumbling modus operandi disguising his extraordinary powers of detection.

5.0 out of 5 stars David Jason is Jack Frost, 29 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Hard Frost (Audio Cassette)
Ex comedian David Jason has got the audio picture of this down at heel detective off to perfection.As usual this is a multi-plot story that unwinds slowly,twisting in its usuall manner. David Jason makes Mr Frost a nicer figure than in the book, and the plot is far deeper than the TV presentation. For those who like audio books, David Jasons, addaptation is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars 9/10 by misterslimm.wordpress.com, 30 Jul 2007
Highly entertaining with a memorably cunning misdirection in the main child kidnapping case but the other cases swirling around are also infused with imagination and character. Jack Frost's mind operates only on crime and his groin but his crudeness is skilfully balanced with his persistence and humanity. This book formed the basis for Season 5 Episode 1 of the ITV David Jason series "A Touch of Frost."

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my favourite book in the Frost series., 6 April 2001
By A Customer
Offensive but very funny, Jack Frost is a brilliant character. This book is unputdownable. Much better than the televised series. I cant wait for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frost is great
Forget the ITV TV programme, this is nothing like it.
Grim, dirty and basic, really great dialogue.
If only ITV had stuck to this it would be even better.. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard frost
Another good read in the Frost series. Rather more earthy than the television adaptation but fast with lots of intertwined plots.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard Frost - hard to take
I bought this book after having seen David Jason as Frost on TV. I was shocked and offended at the sexist language and attitude to women in the written text. Read more
