I\u2019ve been following Christopher Greyson\u2019s<\/strong> Jack Stratton mystery series with great pleasure. The latest entry, Jack Frost<\/a><\/em>, is exciting and entertaining.<\/p>\n Private eye Jack Stratton and his fianc\u00e9e\/business partner Alice are hired by an insurance company to investigate the death of a sound man on a popular reality show. The show\u2019s premise is that the contestants have to compete in survival games on a treacherous mountain. But there have been accidents, the worst of which killed a sound man. The insurance company won\u2019t underwrite another season without someone undercover to keep an eye out. That will be Jack, who has climbing experience. Alice will have to stay home with their dog \u2013 which she hates. But there\u2019s work for her to do too, mainly background research on the contestants. On top of that, she just learned that her childhood trauma, the death of her parents in an auto accident, may not have been accidental after all.<\/p>\n Meanwhile on the mountain, Jack endures the indignities of his cover job \u2013 gopher to the technical crew \u2013 as one after another \u201caccident \u201c occurs. Before long people start dying, followed by a monster blizzard, which puts him and the cast and crew in a genuine Agatha Christie \u201cand then there were none\u201d situation.<\/p>\n The Jack Stratton books aren\u2019t the best written novels out there, but they\u2019re well above average, especially for books where the heroes pray without embarrassment. Author Greyson builds interesting characters and puts them in exciting peril. I enjoyed Jack Frost<\/em> very much, and recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve been following Christopher Greyson\u2019s Jack Stratton mystery series with great pleasure.
