Summary
With a healthy disregard for rules, he attracts trouble like a magnet. He has a newly assigned apprentice - the unfortunate Detective Constable Barnard - the Chief Constable’s nephew. Fresh to the provinces, just up from London in an embarrassingly flash suit, he’s ripe for Frost’s satire.

Fantastico
This was a great audible book, kept us fully entertained on a long car journey. Great story. Humour was lovely. Will look for more narrated by Stephen Thorne too.

A well-crafted story with plenty of period colour
I had seen some of the TV episodes and was familiar with Sir David Jason's portrayal of the Inspector - the original in the book here is slightly different. It has been sanitized for TV it seems. In the main I enjoyed the original with The narrator's skilled interpretation of the characters no less than the TV version, appreciated a lot of the 1980s colour ( bar the smoking but yeah, life was like that back then) but I was a bit saddened by the acquiescent approach of Frost to the paedophile vicar - but then again as we now know a lot of looking the other way went on in British society in those times, so I suppose sadly that it is realistic.
This is good crime writing with the twists and turns of a good detective novel along with the humorous moments that marble alongside the gruesome ones.
So having tried and enjoyed the first in the series I can confidently buy the next one.

How times have changed
This is a good story and Frost a clever and entertaining detective with his disregard of rules and authority but the blatant sexism is very distracting. I did have to check when it was published, it was in the 1980s and it’s a stark illustration of how different attitudes are in 2022!
Having watched the television Frost I’m pleased that the script was “sanitised” and a respect for all introduced

Great story and narrating
Loved it from start to finish. I had enjoyed the TV series and listening to the story I can easily visualise David Jason as Frost. Which I guess is also a credit to David Jason's acting ability. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Strongly recommended.

Maybe a tad old fashioned!
Enjoyed this - yes some of the attitudes are now plainly old school, but all the same the story comes through. And greed is greed, and some deaths are so unnecessarily sad. As ever Frost bumbles his way through to the correct conclusions. Looking forward to the next one.

Brilliant
I love the TV show and the David Jason narrated abridged versions of the books but this is so much better. The narration was superb and I look forward to the next immensely.

Thoroughly entertaining
Nice that you have a picture of the wonderful David Jason as Frost in your mind.
Well read and despite the seriousness of the subject, you have to smile and enjoy.
