Publisher's summary

The discovery of two teenage girls' bodies and a video of a snuff movie showing the death of one of the victims leaves Detective Inspector Jack Frost in a race against time before the killer can strike again.

Meanwhile, someone is poisoning foodstuffs at a local supermarket chain. When the owner receives threatening demands to pay up or be put out of business, it is up to Frost to catch the blackmailer. As all leads dry up and Frost faces questions over the handling of the cases, he faces a threat to his professional life with the arrival of DCI Skinner at Denton Police Station. Is this the end for Jack Frost?

love the Frost Series

I want more books to which I can listen. It is laugh out loud funny, and very grim side of police work. I hope audible will add more R. D. Wingfield books

A Killing Frost

I found this a very good listen. It grabbed my attention from the start and kept it right to the end. The narrator was perfect for this book. Some parts were so funny I found myself still laughing days later. It's about a detective in the middle of England who is a bit of a Maverick but also very able. Was a toss up to give 4 or 5 stars.

A Killing Frost

Intrigue with a bite of humour. Awesome combination. The narrator made the book come alive and his character development had me in stitches. My only disappointment was that I couldn't find another book by Wingfield.

A great journey-killer

A fantastic book to kill long car journeys. Excellent story and excellent narrator. Please can we have the earlier Frost books in unabridged form read by Stephen Thorne?

So wonderful, one of my favorites

I came across this book by accident and was extremely happy I did. A great book that has humor as well as a fantastic narrator. I am hope that audible decided to add more in the series.

Very Funny

This is the funniest mystery novel ever. The characters are almost better than the story. Great narration.

Harry Potter-like without the magic

I guess this isn't my thing--and it may not be yours. It's trite, juvenile, corny, not suspenseful, not funny...the characters are stylized and predictable. It was rated so highly and has a good, creepy cover so I thought it would be chilling but wrong again. Guess the idiom is right!

Excellent Listen

The most enjoyable listen so far. Yes the subject matter is dark but at the same time funny and suspenseful. The narration was terrific and I could not stop listening. Shocked one minute and howling with laughter the next makes for a great ride.

A Killer!

An excellent police thriller featuring the most excellent, sloppy, darkly humorous, problematic and deeply politically-incorrect Detective Inspector Jack Frost. The tale itself is well-constructed, with plenty of red herrings and side-issues, to tax the brain, and make the situation more realistic. Warning: Senior police officers and ardent Welshmen could be offended, and , for them, parental guidance is suggested. Narrator Stephen Thorne does a marvelous job. What a pity this is the only unabridged Frost audiobook on Audible.
