Frost at Christmas

By: R. D. Wingfield

Narrated by: Stephen Thorne

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.

Great story, great narrator; Frost is hilarious

Stephen Thorne does a fabulous job narrating R.D. Wingfield's witty writing. Frost is a great character. I plan on listening to the all the rest!

Slow Pace/Good Plot

This story line is great. I love many of the "broken" inspectors in series. Frost is now in my line-up. It was not boring and I felt the narrator was good for the somewhat comic detective and differentiation of male and female characters.
After Dahgleish, Lynley, Gamesh, Dublin Series. Gabriel Allon and Adrian McKinty, to name some faves, this reading was not a "can't-put-it-down" story for me. The ending had a good finish with some surprises...
But the pace was not fast enough to keep my mind off of the things I try to forget while I'm reading (plugged in)!! I will try Frost #2, though :)

Frost at Christmas

Frost at Christmas - Nice crusty detective story. Narration was great, story line easy to follow.

love frost

everything about this series is spot on. tone, humor, humanity. great narrator. very satisfying

A great respite

The wonderfully disrespectful and sometimes crude Frost does it again in this clever story. Not for those who don’t know much about human nature or are easily offended. Adults should enjoy it.
