About this listen
Meanwhile, someone is poisoning foodstuffs at a local supermarket chain. When the owner receives threatening demands to pay up or be put out of business, it is up to Frost to catch the blackmailer. As all leads dry up and Frost faces questions over the handling of the cases, he faces a threat to his professional life with the arrival of DCI Skinner at Denton Police Station. Is this the end for Jack Frost?

Excellent story marred by old-fashioned crudity
I was interested to compare the original incarnation of DI Frost with the screen version with David Jason. Not suriprisingly the book has much more complex and multi-stranded story-lines. These are gripping and excellently narrated: tthe characters brought to life by different accents.
The big difference between the two mediums is that the original characterisation of Frost is of a misoginistic, foul-mouthed and dishonest policeman.

Language!
Inspector Frost at his best, rebellious, sensitive at times and, of course, very clever! The story is fast moving with some spinechilling events taking place. The characters are well drawn and, since we all know him from the glorious TV Series starring David Jason, Inspector Frost and others are already familiar to us and it is inevitable that we put faces to the characters as the story proceeds. However, it appears that Frost, as we know him, is a much sanitized personality. In reality he is quite a rough diamond and, tut, tut, he really should eat 'Lifebouy' sandwiches to clean up his mouth. I thought I was very tolerant but it became quite irritating that the text throughout was peppered with continual bad language. I forgave all for the sake of the yarn which I really had to keep listening to to hear the eventual outcome. However, perhaps more sensitive listeners should be warned that the bad language is very strong throughout. That aside, an excellent listen.

Entertaining
Overall, I enjoyed this story - it was a little dated - but that wasn't a spoiler for me. My only objections are the amount of swearing - albeit 'bleeding and bloody' rather than the more commonly used F word used nowadays. My other compaint is that Frost is not above a bit of dishonesty and ignoring procedures.
However, I found the stories good, but find it unbelievable that members of the public can SHOUT demand at Police officers and be quite aggressive towards them. I laughed at Frost's acerbic wit.
