A Touch of Frost

By: R. D. Wingfield

Narrated by: Robin Browne

Detective Inspector Jack Frost, officially on duty, is nevertheless determined to sneak off to a colleague's leaving party. But first the corpse of a well-known local junkie is found blocking the drain of a Denton public lavatory and then, when Frost attempts to join the revels later on, the nubile daughter of a wealthy businessman is reported missing.

Sleepy Denton has never known anything like the crime wave which now threatens to submerge it. A robbery occurs at the town's notorious strip joint, the Coconut Grove, the pampered son of a local MP is suspected of a hit-and-run offence and, to top it all, a multiple rapist is on the loose. Frost is reeling under the strain, his paperwork is still in arrears and now, more than ever, his self-righteous colleagues would love to see him sacked. But the manic Frost manages to assure his superior that all is under control. Now he has only to convince himself...

Very Witty

First Jack Frost book for me. I absolutely loved it. Frost is one of a kind - smart, witty, and always getting in trouble! I recommend it!

I really like the storyline and the reader.

Would recommend to everyone who likes rumbled cops.
However not suitable for young teens or grandmothers or maybe great aunts.

Funny

Funny and well written frost character holds up well though one gets annoyed at the constant
Uselessness of the higher ups

Excellent portrayal of Frosts character

Great portrayal of Frosts character, excellent plots, great narration, with superb voicing of the various characters.
I hope that all the other Frost books are this good.
