From the Back Cover

'Multiple cases, multiple bodies and lashings of police in-fighting.Fast, furious and funny' Daily Telegraph

A serial killer is terrorizing 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 suicide, burglaries, pornographic videos, poison-pen letters...

In uncertain charge of the investigations is Detective 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 Frost has to cut corners and take risks, knowing that his Divisional Commander will throw him to the wolves if anything goes wrong.And for Frost, things always go wrong...

'Meaty police procedural; bawdy, funny...enough material here for cult hero status'Literary Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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.
