5.0 out of 5 stars Never a dull moment with Jack Frost!, November 17, 1998

This review is from: Night Frost (Mass Market Paperback)

I 'met' Detective Inspector Jack Frost through the British TV programs which came from the books. While David Jason's portrayal of Frost is slightly more pleasant than the original, he's pretty true to form. I really enjoyed all of Wingfield's Frost books (there are 4). This one was slightly annoying with an overuse of Frost's crudity, but not enough to do more than make you groan in sympathy with those around him. The book is fast paced. You won't want to put it down, although you may not be able to finish the 357 pages in one read. If you want an interesting, well-written police procedural that'll keep you thinking and guessing who the villains (there are several cases in progress) are you won't be disappointed. Even though Jack Frost is frumpy and crude, you can't help liking him.

After reading all the Colin Dexter Inspector Morse books and feeling at a loss as to what could possibly satisfy me after such a delightful and rich reading experience, I was lucky enough to find Frost.Definitely not politically correct but what fun to read ! Great stuff.

Although not a huge fan of the television show, I decided to give this book a read to see how much it differed from the series. Wow! What a great, enthralling read! The character of Frost is a detective genius in a rumpled raincoat; the plot kept moving at a quick pace, with just enough twists and turns to make it a page turner without losing the reader, and with an ending that kept you guessing until the last pages.
