Product Description

From AudioFile

Jack Frost, the British inspector detective who has endeared himself to countless television viewers, will now make new converts on tape. Thanks to Stephen Thorne, Frost emerges as even more disreputable and profane--as well as more human--than he was on the tube. And he's not the only one who comes alive on these tapes. Searching for a missing girl, Frost encounters one colorful character after another. They include, for a start, an upstanding vicar with a taste for pornography, a foul-mouthed drunken tramp and a witch-like clairvoyant ... to say nothing of his own pompous chief inspector. What an audio treat! J.C. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Ingram

The irascible Detective Inspector Jack Frost spends the holiday season searching for a missing child with the help of a dubious psychic and a bumbling new partner. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I've read in a long time..., Mar 29 2003

By	Samantha Rayis (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frost at Christmas (Mass Market Paperback)

I love the mysteries of Colin Dexter and Reginald Hill, so when a friend mentioned that the Frost series had a lot in common with them, I had to buy one. I was definitely not disappointed. Jack Frost is the most hilarious character I've ever come across. He usually says whatever pops into his head whether it's appropriate or not.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes British police procedurals. You won't be disppointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series opener, Feb 13 2002

By	Patricia Bauer (Minnesota) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Frost at Christmas (Mass Market Paperback)

Terrific writing, interesting characters, witty dialogue. The ultimate plot solution is little strained, but I'd much rather compromise on the crime's "destination" than on the journey there. I vehemently disagree with the earlier reviewer who found Frost self-centered and disgusting. Self-deprecating would be much closer to the truth--a very sympathetic character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Night Frost, May 24 2000

By	Greg Hounsom (Essex, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frost at Christmas (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book gripping, exciting and humorous. Detective Jack Frost has his own inapt way of solving crime and will do anything to avoid paperwork and confrontations with the Divisional Commander. Some folk are not convinced Frost to be a suitable detective, but think again as he's not as foolish as some might believe. ! I just can't wait to begin the next novel by Wingfield which I am told are as good if not better than this one. - I recommend this to anyone, even if murder mystery is not your 'cup of tea'. ! 5 Stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Something of a mess . . .
If you came to this book from the television series derived from Wingfield's books, brace yourself for a shock. Read more
