Hard Frost

Most people have heard of the TV show, A Touch of Frost, but very few have actually read the books. Which is a shame, because they’re so much better. Wingfield’s DI “Jack” Frost is a far more complicated and layered character and he’s at his best in this intricate tale of kidnap, cynicism, and revenge. He’s crude, he’s irascible, he’s kind, he’s funny, he makes mistakes, he’s human. He’s also surrounded by a supporting cast that make this an absolute joy to read. Hard Frost is the book that opened my eyes to what crime fiction could, and should, be.
