A fantastic read August 11, 2008

Its sad that this will be the last Frost book but lovely to be able to say that Mr Wingfield went out on a high. This is the real Frost, not the somewhat sanitised TV version, rude, crude and full of piss and vinegar. Frost and his nemesis, Superintendent Mullett, battle it out to the end in a multilayered story that makes one laugh and cringe in equal amounts.
A first class mystery novel July 28, 2008

This book can easily set the standard for wonderful mystery novels. The story includes several different crimes, but I was never lost or confused. Inspector Frost is working on all cases and is being pressured by his superiors Mullet and Skinner to get results. The cases are grim and Frost is handling them brilliantly by bending the rules and disregarding his superior's instructions. The highlights of the book are the conversations between Frost and Mullet or Skinner. They are outright hilarious because Frost knows how to twist their words and speak in double meanings. This book has it all: excellent writing, a gripping plot and a healthy dose of humor. I recommend the entire series.

It is astounding as to how many cases/plots this novel contains and yet at no time do you lose the thread of them or feel confused.
The dialogue is realistic, the humour has you laughing despite the dark and chilling crimes, the relationships between the police officers are expertly drawn and conveyed and Wingfield makes all this seem effortless.
R D Wingfield's writing is skilful to the point that DI Jack Frost is likeable and deplorable at the same time. The pace is so fast that you can hardly bear to put the book down and not read on. Like the other reviewers and praise on the dust jacket, it's so sad that there won't be any more of Frost.

As I've read everyone of these books, I couldn't wait to start this book. Full of humour (that David Jason does to perfection in the TV series) this is so easy to read and to whiz through. The characters and dialogue are brilliant. Am really upset that there won't be anymore, and hope that nobody else writes follow-ups as I don't think they'd be as brilliantly written. Wish that I hadn't finished it so quickly!!
Excellent April 14, 2008
