About this listen

November 5th, 1982. It's been one of the worst days of Detective Sergeant Jack Frost's life. He has buried his wife Mary, and must now endure the wake, attended by all of Denton's finest. All, that is, apart from DC Sue Clark, who spends the night chasing a bogus tip-off, before being summoned to the discovery of a human foot. And the night gets worse.

Local entrepreneur Harry Baskin is shot inside his club, an off-licence is set on fire and a famous painting goes missing. And Superintendant Mullett's attempts to join the Freemasons are being rudely thwarted.

As the week goes on, a cyclist is found dead in suspicious circumstances, and the arsonist strikes again. Frost is on the case.

A very rivetting story. Upset when nearly finished and husband came in for tea, couldn't wait to get back to it.

Amazing

James Henry makes a worthy set of prequels to the original Wingfield series and it is great the way plots and characters develop over the three books in the prequels. I have been taking as long as possible to listen to the whole Frost series and now that I have reached the end of what there is I just wish they would write one more.

It would be interesting to go back to the first again in the light of the prequels and see if they deepen the experience of the stories after Frost is made up to Inspector.

A worthy end to a magnificent saga, but I still want more

What made the experience of listening to Morning Frost the most enjoyable?

Stephen Thorne is (next to Tony Britton) my favourite reader and I only found these extra Frost books by entering his name in the search box which for me was a real bonus. After reading the recorded books by RD Wingfield, I thought that was all that was available but these by James Henry are well worth listening to with the same dry humour.

What did you like best about this story?

The flow of the continuation of the life of the detective Frost in Denton with all it's familiar characters and it's well written.

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

He is an excellent reader. I only allow myself to read books on holiday so audio books are part of my everyday life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not necessarily as I don't just sit and listen. I use the stories when I'm doing something boring like ironing or washing up etc. and especially housework or decorating. I actually look forward to the next day's work when I can continue with my story.

A Good book read by an excellent reader.
