Story
When art dealer Ivan Fielding is found dead of a heart attack in his home, it doesn’t initially seem like a case for Detective Inspector Frost and the Denton police force. But then signs of a burglary are discovered, and Frost senses there’s more to the story than meets the eye - even though the only thing taken was a worthless amateur painting.

Chief Inspector Wexford tries to solve a murder with no evidence, not even a body. Anita Margolis had vanished. There was no body, no crime - nothing more than an anonymous letter and the intriguing name of Smith. According to HQ, it wasn't to be a murder enquiry at all. In fact, Inspector Burden has no trouble seeing a pattern in the Margolis case. Anita was wealthy, flighty, and thoroughly immoral.

Worst of the Frost books
I feel bad making this my first review of the Frost prequel audio books, having listened to the first three, but I simply had to comment on this one. Stephen Thorne is an excellent narrator at times, but he really dropped the ball on this one. The character of John Waters has previously had a slightly deep voice that worked well enough to differentiate him, but this time it was different. Whoever thought the new voice was a good idea should be ashamed. It's now become a clichéd and stereotypical impersonation of a black man's voice that sometimes veers into an odd Welsh accent. It sounds dreadful. Even if you don't think it sounds racist (some may) it is very hard to take seriously. It's turned what is (and was performed) as an educated and confident character and made him sound ridiculous (pronouncing words like 'this' and 'that' as 'dis' and 'dat.') It made me roll my eyes whenever I knew the character was going to be featured. It doesn't help that it's a rather meandering book that feels more like a series of random events more than a compelling narrative. I know that the Frost books always feature multiple cases, but they've always felt like a way to build the tension to a satisfying conclusion. Too much focus here was too much on the wedding of John and Kim (the latter a character that was never well served and who barely features in this book.) This is the only Frost book I've struggled to get through. The poor character voices, frequent sounds of the narrator swallowing/smacking his lips/etc. and other mistakes (a character is described as whispering into another character's car, rather than their ear) make the whole thing feel a bit slapdash.

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a huge fan of Inspector Frost - both in book form and more recently, Audible. I had my doubts about using a credit for this book, after reading a previous reviewer saying this is 'the worst of the Frost Books'. I am so pleased I ignored that review. I actually feel this is one of the very best. I loved all the characters, as usual, and the narrator's accents were brilliant as they always are. I highly recommend this title as I thoroughly enjoyed every word.

Disappointing
A good attempt at recreating Jack Frost which sadly failed for me. Jack is a likeable, haphazard, disorganised but successful policeman. Here he is described more as slovenly and rather distasteful which does the character a great disservice. The format of the story is good and sticks to the tried and tested formula.

Okay but not as good as wingfield who was the originator of the series.
This writer doesn’t have quite the wry humorous touch of the creator of the series.
