Genre - Mystery
The inimitable and ‘maverick’ DI Frost at his best. Frost has more than one man can take as far as his share of responsibilities goes. His department is landed with the first black policeman in Denton, with not all of the squad accepting this, as the local community of Denton and its surrounds are predominantly white. Frost is a shock to his compatriot from London, with his lack of personal hygiene and work ethics, on top of which his commanding officer is always on his back.
A young girl’s body is found in suspicious circumstances, on top of that the usual robberies take place, together with attacks from a group of young kids on bikes. More bodies turn up, with Frost having to deal with an elusive wife who disappears and ends up at her mother’s, who has no liking to Frost and thinks her family is beneath him.
A good read and certainly one that has a lot of drama and can be aligned with the Frost series seen on television, with its typical British way of life and enjoyable reading.
