A LETHAL FROST

Narrator Crawford Logan skillfully transports listeners to 1980s England to join the eccentric, witty Detective Inspector Jack Frost as he takes on the police hierarchy of his town--and crime. This is a prequel to the series created by the late R.D. Wingfield. Logan's Frost is his usual rule-bending self as he investigates Denton's horse-racing world to find out who shot wealthy George Price, leaving him for dead. Frost's partner, Sue Clark, and Price's widow, Melody, are dissimilar and realistically rendered, while the diverse accents and personalities of the insular racing world add intrigue. Logan's descriptions of Frost's lonely life and kindness ring true, adding to his appeal. Listeners will delight in the glimpses of '80s music, news, and fashion; crooked cops; and Frost's ongoing battles with Superintendent Mullett.
