Product Description

Product Description
Frost has a newly assigned apprentice - Detective Constable Barnard. He's the Chief Constable's nephew and ripe for Frost's satire. Frost is assigned to the disappearance of a prostitute's daughter. Assisted by his new sidekick, he proceeds with the investigation in typically unorthodox style.

From the Back Cover
'Affecting, frightening, and, especially in Frost's dialogue, extremely amusing'
Listener

Ten days to Christmas and Tracey Uphill, aged eight, hasn't come home from Sunday school.Her mother, a pretty young prostitute, is desperate.Enter Detective Inspector Jack Frost, sloppy, scruffy and insubordinate.To help him investigate the case of the missing child, Frost has been assigned a new sidekick, the Chief Constable's nephew.Fresh to provincial Denton in an oversmart suit, Detective Constable Clive Barnard is an easy target for Frost's withering satire.

Assisted and annoyed by Barnard, Frost, complete with a store of tasteless anecdotes to fit every occasion, proceeds with the investigation in typically unorthodox style.After he's consulted a local witch, Dead Man's Hollow yields up a skeleton.Frost finds himself drawn into an unsolved crime from the past and risks not only his career, but also his life...

'A crisp, confident, ripely-characterized novel; exciting, ingenious, roundly satisfying’Literary Review --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a absolutely fantastic, compulsive, fasinating book, 29 Nov 1999
This review is from: Frost at Christmas (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good to listen to at Christmas, good to listen to any time!, 27 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Frost at Christmas was an enjoyable listen, and I thoroughly recommend it. David Jason IS Jack Frost, and we know him so well, we're right there alongside him as he tries to unravel the various strands that twist and turn to the end. It didn't matter that I'd already seen this story on TV, it was great, and I'd listen to it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frost at Christmas, 24 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Frost at Christmas (Mass Market Paperback)
What a wonderful book. Each aspect of Denton and Frosts life is portrayed in great detail and keeps the reader interested. I have now read the book 3 times since buying it 3 weeks ago after reading "Night Frost".
