Not Like The TV Series...

This book is very involving, just don't expect David Jason. Frost is scruffy and foul-mouthed, but down to earth and understanding. And he never sleeps! This was the particular book which got me into the Frost series and is probably the best. It is funny but also thrilling, especially at the end. Most recommended.

Surprisingly good

If you can get over the misogyny and general avoidance of anything remotely pc you will love Frost. I did not try the books for ages (because of the tv series), but they really are worth reading - for the humour particularly. Don't expect realism - this is just pure fun. Night Frost is my favourite so far - the relationship with Mullet is priceless!

Engrossing black humour

The Frost series of books are engrossing and involving, sometimes quite complicated, detective stories. Frost himself is perhaps the most sympathetic character in them, the rest are pretty awful. One gripe I have is Wingfield's treatment of women in the Frost books - they are either crumpet to be raped and/or made foul remarks about, or batty sex-starved old maids. I get the feeling the author does not like women very much. However, I shall perservere with them as I like good 'tec story. Pity about the misogyny.
