A Touch of Frost is a truly excellent series. Frost is exactly how you'd imagine a real life Detective Inspector to be...pressured, grumpy, scruffy.

The stories are set around the fictitious town of Denton in which seems to be full of unpleasant people, very much like Midsomer.

For anybody who delights in engrossing stories and exquisite human characterisation rather than standard police show clichés, Touch of Frost is exceptional. I can't recommend it highly enough.
