About this deal

The main thread of the novel begins in the first chapter, when our young narrator, Tilly Higgins, is introduced. Her voice immediately sets out her character: ‘I was proper fed up with waiting. I’d been on look-out now for two whole hours and there was still no sign of Pa’. He is due home from ‘a stint on the railways’, bringing with him much needed money to pay the family’s rent. Tilly makes it clear that they are poor: ‘We didn’t even own enough chairs for us all to sit down at the same time’, and so when her father fails to turn up, she begins to worry. Selected Prose, edited by Hyde Cox and Edward Connery Lathem, Holt, 1966, reprinted, Collier Books, 1968. I don't like / won't read zombie books, but I decided to make an exception with this book because: robots! The idea of a world with both robots and zombies (rather, 'eaters', which are different from zombies because they can talk and still somewhat control themselves and their "dietary cravings" and even appear normal) intrigued me.

The gates to Frost Hollow Hall loomed before us. They were great tall things, the ironwork all twisted leaves and queer-looking flowers. And they were very definitely shut.'

Reviews

If someone had told me that I would read a book that has 'dreaming' chapters interspersed within the main text, I would have said, 'Oh, no, not for me'. But Emma Carroll's book had such an enticing blurb and was set in Victorian times that I decided to give it a go. And I am glad I did for it is a touching portrait of Hollow Hall and its inhabitants with an excellent storyline. Evans, William R., editor, Robert Frost and Sidney Cox: Forty Years of Friendship, University Press of New England, 1981. Terry Reid ( Robert Glenister, 2001–2003) is a tough London detective who has suffered from alcohol and drug addictions. He has often been in trouble for his extreme methods, though he has mellowed by the time he works with Frost. Working together on several cases, Frost and Reid become friends. Frost also learns about an act of bravery by Reid, for which he was awarded the Military Medal.

Due to their length, many of the other books were split into multiple episodes. "A Touch of Frost" was split over three episodes. "Night Frost" was split over two (although the element of DS Gilmore's marriage break-up was used in the series 4 episode "The Things We Do for Love", which has no other reference to "Night Frost", for the series-only character of DS Nash). "Hard Frost" was the last and perhaps most closely referenced novel filmed, which was split across two almost unrelated episodes. Despite the show still being produced when the last two novels were written, they were never used as source material for episodes, possibly due to their more graphic subject matter. WHAT?! THAT'S IT?!?!? You can't do this to me!!!!! I demand a second book!! So many unanswered questions!!!!!! Vic Webster (George Anton, 1992) is briefly Frost's partner. When PC Shelby, a confident uniformed officer with a reputation as a ladies' man, is murdered, Frost investigates and finds Webster killed him because Shelby had been having an affair with his wife. Webster denies the charges, but Frost is ultimately successful in finding evidence to prove his case, resulting in Webster being sentenced for his crime. Mertins, Marshall Louis, Robert Frost: Life and Talks— Walking, University of Oklahoma Press, 1965.Thompson, Lawrence, Fire and Ice: The Art and Thought of Robert Frost, Holt, 1942, reprinted, Russell, 1975. This was a bit slow for my liking. There are parts where I not only doubled the speed, but I also thought about dnf-ing it. I'm glad I finished it though. Something happened at the end that I wasn't expecting, but I really liked it. In fact, I think when that 'something' happened, I liked the book much more. (And I love the cover!) Chandler ( Robert Horwell, 2003) is an officer protecting trial witness Cathy Thompson. Chandler's negligence results in Flynn's hitman nearly murdering Cathy, prompting Cathy to flee with her son Robbie. Alongside his partner Giles, Chandler is suspended and bluntly told his police career is as good as obliterated.
