Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - A British Columbo
I laugh out loud when I read a Frost novel, although sometimes the British words are hard to figure out. However, after 3 Frost novels they all seem to sound alike. He is entertaining though and a better night's entertainment than TV.
Rating:  - Huge plot flaws
This story had the potential to be a cozy English mystery, but the plot has flaws so big you could drop cannonballs through them. Just a couple: (1) The hero, Frost, was shot 2 1/2 years ago at the time his wife was given 6 months to live, but he's only been a widower for a year. (2) A woman eavesdropped on phone calls at a time when the caller, it turns out, had been dead for *two* years. All in all, I have a list of more than 10 plot flubs, including one that was mentioned earlier by another reviewer. ... Read More
Rating:  - The best book I've read in a long time...
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!
Rating: - Great series opener
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.
Rating: - Night Frost
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 ... Read More
