5.0 out of 5 stars Night Frost, May 24, 2000

This review is from: Frost at Christmas (Crime Lines) (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ho-Ho-Ho I Loved This Book!!, September 3, 1998

By A Customer

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

If you are a conformist, don't read this book. If you are a bureauocrat, a corporate toady, or a member of the politically correct movement, don't read this book. If you are fashion-challenged and don't measure up on the looks scale; if you work for a total idiot who doesn't appreciate the work you do; if you're an underdog who needs a character to identify with, this book is for you. Jack Frost is Britain's answer to Columbo, only Frost is a real, 3D, flesh and blood character. If you like procedurals with bite, you'll love this book.

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

This review is from: Frost at Christmas (Crime Lines) (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!
