August, 1983. Denton is preparing for a wedding. Detective Sergeant Waters should be on top of the world with less than a week to go until he marries Kim Myles. But the Sunday before the big day, instead of a run-through with his best man, the church is sealed off. The body of a young woman has been found in the churchyard, and their idyllic wedding venue has become a crime scene.

Detective Inspector Jack Frost has been homeless for the past three months, ever since his wife’s family sold the matrimonial house. He’s been staying with Detective Constable Sue Clarke but with a baby to take care of and the imminent arrival of her mother, she’s given him his marching orders.

But as best man to Waters, he’s got a responsibility to solve the mystery of the dead girl in the churchyard. Can he put his own troubles aside and be the detective they need him to be? All in all, August looks set to be a wicked month in Denton…

I really enjoyed this fourth Frost prequel & feel Henry does a sterling job of maintaining the personalities of the major characters.

As with other books & the TV series (incidentally I find it almost impossible to read without seeing the faces & hearing the voices of David Jason &Bruce Alexander) there's a few mysteries to be solved, in this case the death of a young woman, the disappearance of a second & the theft of a large sum of money. Once again the reader is aware of one of the culprits but the other two you have to figure out along with Frost. The crime side somehow seemed to be a bit lacking in definition but Frost's personality & the banter between him & Mullet is always amusing to follow.

Added to the fund raising book shelf - if you want to read it, you'll have to pay £1 to buy it, so thanks for donating to a worthy cause :o)
