Book Description

1 Jan 2007

Another set of unsolved crimes for television’s DI Jack Frost (A Touch of Frost) to stumble through. Read by David Jason, the star of the television series.

A serial killer is terrorising the senior citizens of Denton, and the local police are succumbing to a flu epidemic. Tired and demoralized, the force has to contend with a seemingly perfect young couple suffering arson attacks and death threats, a suspicious suicidem burgalries, pornographic videos, poison-pen letters …

In uncertain charge of the investigations is Detetcive Inspector Jack Frost, crumpled, slapdash and foul-mouthed as ever. he tries to cope despite inadequate back-up, but there is never enough time; the unsolved crimes pile up and the vicious killings go on. So Frist has to cut corners and take risks, knowing that his Divisional Commander will throw him to the wovles if anything goes wrong. And for Frost, things always go wrong …

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Like The TV Series... 18 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is very involving, just don't expect David Jason. Frost is scruffy and foul-mouthed, but down to earth and understanding. And he never sleeps! This was the particular book which got me into the Frost series and is probably the best. It is funny but also thrilling, especially at the end. Most recommended.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
RD Wingfield only managed a limited number of stories featuring his wonderful creation, maverick Detective Inspector "Jack" Frost and the fictional Denton police force before he died in the '90s. Such a shame -these are really very well constructed books and satisfying mysteries.
Wingfield lived to see the highly successful TV series starring David Jason, but had a problem with Jason's portrayal, in the main because the TV character was totally different and quite toned down compared to the greasy, unkempt, foul-mouthed, chain-smoking policeman that Wingfield describes so well. All the outside DCs or DSs seconded (usually unwillingly) to Denton nick and placed under Inspector Frost's mantle are generally flawed or world-weary but find themselves quickly at their wits' end with their superior's antics and unorthodox policing methods.
The cackling humour within these books arises from Frost's callous disregard of the rules and his slapdash, usually disgraceful conduct, which numerous times steer him towards suspension or worse. The funniest is his relationship with the stuffy, hapless Superintendent Mullett, dubbed "Horn Rim Harry", whom Frost manages to wrong-foot on a regular basis. At times, Jack's sexist attitude and verbal crudity might prove moderately grating to current PC attitudes but given this was a prevalent attitude of the time (the Inspector is portrayed as being in his 50s when these were written in the 1990s so can therefore be reasonably expected to be entrenched in the old-fashioned attitudes and this simply adds validity to his seemingly 'disreputable' character.
All Wingfield's books are a true joy to read and if you can suspend that hovering image of the former Del-Boy (and despite the much cleaner raincoat, decent scarf and less battered hat) from your mind's eye, it remains a simply wonderful series that should not be missed.

2.0 out of 5 stars This didn't grab me!
I was very disappointed in this story, but maybe it is because I am such a fan of the 'Frost T.V Series', and I was expecting too much from the story???

4.0 out of 5 stars Frost at his usual best!
The book is still relevant now,and reflects a sense of policing that can be called black humour.The whole series makes a good read.
