About this listen

May, 1982. Britain celebrates the sinking of the Belgrano, Jimmy Savile has the run of the airwaves and Denton Police Division welcomes its first black policeman, DC Waters -- recently relocated from Bethnal Green. While the force is busy dealing with a spate of local burglaries, the body of fifteen-year-old Samantha Evans is discovered in woodland next to the nearby railway track. Then a fifteen-year-old boy is found dead on Denton's golf course, his organs removed. Detective Sergeant Jack Frost is sent to investigate -- a welcome distraction from troubles at home. And when the murdered boy's sister goes missing, Frost and Waters must work together to find her... before it's too late.

Would you consider the audio edition of Fatal Frost to be better than the print version?

I found the print version to be very difficult because there was a difficulty in taking away excellent Television character away and replacing it with the book's character. The audio version allows for a new characterisation to form in my head.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It has to be Frost himself. Even though this is not the first book in the series I have read it adds a significant view to the complexity of the character.

What does Stephen Thorne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

His voice is not difficult to listen to and it adds value to the characters

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Frost at his all time best

Any additional comments?

It was a great reintroduction to a great character.

Really excellent performance of another good and convincing prequel Frost story. I think the James Henry stories of Frost match the quality of the originals.

Any additional comments?

As a long-time devotee of the R. D. Wingfield books about DI Frost I have enjoyed James Henry's prequels, this being the third in the series and the best so far. Henry has managed to capture the essence of life in the Denton Police Station and the characters of Jack Frost (and Superintendent Mullet !) ring true to those in the original books (being less sanitised than those in the TV series). I believe there is a fourth book in preparation and I look forward to reading it in due course.
