In this chapter of the popular series, Detective Sergeant Frank Gilmore is starting his first day with Denton CID, but things are not going as he expected or planned. Close to half of the police force are out sick, leaving the police chief grasping at straws.

There is a lot going on in town and not enough manpower to cover it all. The only one who is available to show Gilmore the ropes is Detective Inspector Frost, a royal pain in the butt to all of his superiors. The only reason he is still working on the force is that he is someone who always manages to get the job done regardless of how many toes he has to step on.

He has never had to apologize because he always brings results whether his bosses like it or not. In this particular case he is forced to multitask as there are several things happening at once. There is a case involving poison pen letters that may have led to a murder and a suicide. Aside from that there has been an increase in assaults against the town's senior citizens.

It is up to Frost to get Gilmore up to speed if he wants to have a future with this police force. Local entrepreneur Harry Baskin is shot inside his club, an off-licence is set on fire and a famous painting goes missing. And Superintendant Mullett's attempts to join the Freemasons are being rudely thwarted. Jack Frost is disheveled, disorganised and disrespectful. His superiors don't like him. He has a habit of doing things his way - and getting results.

A young woman becomes the sixth victim of a multiple rapist, a teenage girl goes missing, there's a robbery at the Purple Parrot nightclub, and an old man is injured in a hit-and-run.

With all this on his plate, Frost has little time and less patience for paperwork. Up until now the only serial killers Tony Hill had encountered were safely behind bars. Four men have been found mutilated and tortured. As fear grips the city, the police turn to clinical psychologist Tony Hill for a profile of the killer. But soon Tony becomes the unsuspecting target in a battle of wits and wills, where he has to use every ounce of his professional nerve to survive. In Last Seen Wearing , Inspector Morse is reluctant to take over an old missing person case from a dead colleague.

Night Frost Atronach Steed

But two years, three months and two days after teenager Valerie Taylor's disappearance, somebody decides to supply some surprising new evidence Rachael, the team leader, is still reeling after a double betrayal by her lover and boss, Peter Kemp. Anne, a botanist, sees the survey as a chance to indulge in a little deception of her own. And then there is Grace, a strange, uncommunicative young woman hiding plenty of her own secrets. January , Colchester CID.

A new year brings new resolutions for Detective Inspector Nicholas Lowry. With one eye on his approaching 40th birthday, he has given up his two greatest vices: As a result the largest remaining threat to his health is now his junior colleague's reckless driving.

But he soon finds that life in the country is not quite as idyllic as he had imagined. A peeping Tom is frightening the women of Eastvale.

Night Frost Crisis

Two glue-sniffing thugs are breaking into homes. An old woman may or may not have been murdered An Adam Dalgliesh mystery. Cover Her Face is P. James' debut novel, the first Adam Dalgliesh mystery, and a thrilling work of crime fiction set in the English countryside, from the best-selling author of Death Comes to Pemberley and Children of Men.

James, one of the masters of British crime fiction, comes the debut novel that introduced Scotland Yard detective Adam Dalgliesh. A serial killer is terrorizing the senior citizens of Denton, and the local police are succumbing to a flu epidemic. In uncertain charge of the investigations is Detective Inspector Jack Frost, crumpled, slapdash, and foul-mouthed as ever. Trying to cope despite inadequate backup, but there is never enough time; the unsolved crimes pile up and the vicious killings go on.

Just for fun, a low 3 star foggy frosty tale. A good story - but not sure about the accents of the characters - Can't beat David Jason! Some rude gags but it makes up the Frost character. An ambitious young detective inspector finds himself assigned to work with Frost when he is posted to Denton. He is not best pleased to be working with the scruffy, slapdash and disorganised older man with his dubious remarks and rather crude humour.

A Touch of Frost

Gilmore would like to find favour with the pompous and oily Head Mullet who is more concerned with being a sycophant to his superiors and having paperwork done on time rather than supporting his troops and caring for their welfare. Frost and Mullet are diametrically opposed and this creates delicious scenes of hilarity as they clash at every meeting. On a more serious note the Frost series does give an insight into how hard police work actually is.

Frost always has several cases on the go at the same time and his days are extremely long. I enjoyed Frost on TV but he is an even rougher, cruder and more insubordinate world weary character here and makes the David Jason characterisation seem quite refined and restrained in comparison. I look forward to hearing more Frost audiobooks.

Over worked , under pressure from "Horned rimmed Harry" the lovable rogue goes about in his usual style clearing up the crimes Denton throws up in the middle of a flu epidemic he doe this wwith humour and wit upsetting all around him! Like I said Classic Frost! Which character — as performed by Stephen Thorne — was your favourite? He performs them all brilliantly and is a really talented narrator. Another entertaining and amusing read from a superb author. I have listened to nearly all the Inspector Frost books some more than once and can't fault any of them.

They are well worth the money. Excellent storyline,mixed with sub plots,brilliantly read,well worth listening. R D Winfield at his normal best. Yes very good and enjoyable. But the accent of the reader was very false which spoilt it. It would have been better just to read it as the storyline paints the picture. Just starting the next book.
