nesmith001's review against another edition
5.0
I would recommend the Frost series of books to any body that wanted a good police story. the characters are well written, likeable and, I think really add a great dimensions to the stories. I would suggest starting with the original series, written by RD Wingfield, and then move on to the sequels, partly because the original stories written by RD Wingfield are brilliant and give such a back story to Frost’s character, each and every one is a great story. when the first prequel was released I was apprehensive as I felt another author would not be able to mimic the friendly but immersive story writing that the originals had, and I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised. The story is easy to follow but keeps you interested and the relationships occurring throughout the book are lovely to see evolve. Since I actually saw the programme, a Touch of Frost, before I read any of the books, (I remember finding the first one I read in the local library in a large print book, and excitedly showing it to my dad, I may of been 10/11 years old, and the librarian checking with him that I was ok to borrow it, due to it’s “adult themes”. Since then we have both been fans of the books and have eagerly awaiting the new releases.) So whenever I read the books I cannot help but imagine David Jason as Jack Frost, and I did the exact same thing with this book.
To sum up I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I have all the other Frost series and I would recommend everybody read them.
