Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Outstanding
Although the fifth installment in one of the best Procedural series ever written, Winter Frost (like the other Frost novels) stands on its own. If you have been searching far and wide for a good novel, look no further.
Rating:  - Not a Fan
This is my introduction to Jack Frost and I didn't enjoy it. Total lack of respect for women. Is this a British thing calling all females cows? A more disreputable character I would hate to meet. I can't find one good thing to say about this author. The story was way too long and left a lot of holes not filled in.

Rating:  - easy uninspiring read
I read this book on holidays having just read Philip Roths "The human stain".
It is readable but repetitive and stereotypical. I enjoy the TV series but in contrast to conventional wisdom the book is disappointing in comparison
Frost comes across as a combination of Colombo and Benny Hill in a Carry on film. The characters are all cardboard cut outs and the ubiquituous bacon sandwiches ,page 3 females and viagra fired men becomes tiresome.
A mindless read after a heavy book or 10 pints ... Read More
Rating: - Another fine addition to the series
If your a fan of the series as I am, this novel was worth the wait. Frost is up to his elbows in crime again with a serial killer of prostitutes and another rapist and killer of small children among his problems. Of course, the bureaucratic Mullet is not helping things either. Frost attacks these problems with his usual wit and style, yet Frost also experiences a great deal of self doubt in this instance as the investigations drag on due to dead ends and the lack of resources and manpower. Fans of the ... Read More
