Jack Stratton to the rescue once again. With an avalanche and a killer on the loose at the filming of a reality television series, Jack “Frost”comes to the rescue. With the help of his fiancé, Alice, Jack’s special skills are once again put to work in this exciting addition to the popular series.

The bigger the danger, the greater the odds, the more blistering the drama, reality shows are big money, but when a suspicious death occurs on the snow-covered Mount Minuit, Jack Stratton and his fiancé and partner, Alice are called in to investigate what really happened. Was the death a freak accident, or was it murder? While Jack goes undercover as a member of the film crew, Alice is left grounded working behind the scenes from the comfort of their warm and dry apartment.

Meanwhile, Alice calls on a beautiful, yet deadly mercenary friend to uncover what really happened the day her parents were killed in a hit-and-run accident. Is accident the wrong word? Were their deaths intentional? Why?

As bad luck or planned disasters plague the shooting of Planet Survival, Jack will find himself with caught up in a deadly game of survival, himself as Alice gets one step closer to the identity of the monster who killed her family.

JACK FROST by Christopher Greyson is a mystery lover’s delight. With more twists and plot turns than an Olympic ski trail, this easy-reading, action-packed tale will keep readers guessing at what will happen next! Brilliant characters, many that are completely unlikable will each look guilty at one point or another and who can be trusted will change with the weather.

As Alice enlists the neighbor lady to help with show details, Kiku uses her special talents to unearth the answers Alice seeks.

Christopher Greyson’s style is easy to read, easy to get lost in and easy to believe as we go behind the scenes for a reality check on “reality entertainment.” Will I be reading more about Jack and Alice? No mystery there, the answer is yes!

Jack Frost is one of a series about ex-military ex-police private detective Jack Stratton and his fiancee Alice Campbell, but this novel is completely stand alone. And an excellent mystery it is. Jack and Alice take on an investigation for a small private insurance company. If they can sign on this company for coverage of all of their investigative needs, it will be a great start for the private security company they hope will support their soon to be newly married life. Coverage that is in question is that of the cast and crew of a reality TV show, currently filming on an isolated mountain top as the show completes programing that was delayed by the death of a crew member in an avalanche. Alice is a computer whiz and remains in town, much against her will, while Jack accompanies the cast and small crew to the top of Mount Minuit. With the help of their landlady, Alice delves into the background of all of the crewmembers of Planet Survival, while Jack attempts to keep crew members alive as someone begins culling them one at a time as the weather closes in on the mountain. And just as things are looking a little more promising, two massive weather fronts collide over the mountain, forming a two headed snake of a blizzard that isolates the cast and crew completely and cuts all communications with the flatlands below. Will Jack be able to identify and isolate the killer before everyone is dead? And will Alice be able to keep to the apartment doing her job after communication is lost with Jack, or will she head up Mount Minuit despite her lack of mountaineering experience?

This was a excellent tale, told well. I am happy to recommend to friends and family. Christopher Greyson writes a tight, well planned story with interesting people. Christopher Greyson is an author I will follow.

I received a free electronic copy of this mystery novel from Netgalley, Christopher Greyson, and Greyson Media Associates in exchange for an honest review. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me.

I've read and enjoyed two other books by this author - one a standalone ("The Girl Who Lived") and the other "Jack of Hearts," another in this series featuring private investigator and bounty hunter Jack Stratton. When I got a chance to read an advance copy of this one, saying yes was a no-brainer. Am I glad I did? You betcha; in fact, it's my favorite.

Some things have changed a bit, most notably that Jack and his fellow investigator, Alice, are now engaged to be married - though they haven't yet set a date. Alice is still grieving the years-ago loss of her parents in an auto hit-and-run; to help, she's asked a mercenary friend, Kiku, to try and track him down. Meanwhile, Jack is asked to get to the bottom of a suspicious death on the set of "Planet Survival," a popular realilty show. Jack decides the best way to go is undercover - the current show is being filmed atop Minuit Mountain in the middle of winter. Alice isn't happy about having to stay home, but the producer insists she can't add more than one person to the crew without causing undue notice.

Jack and the producer win out, leaving Alice to handle research chores, the progress of Kiku's investigation of her parents' death and taking care of Lady, Jack's gigantic King Shepherd. Actually, that was fine with me; Jack may be smitten, but I didn't much care for her from the git-go. And here, when Jack learns that she wants him to call her "darling" because that's what Jack's dad calls his mom, I actually hoped she'd defy orders, climb the mountain and get buried in an avalanche like the crew member whose death is being looked into.

But for better or worse, she's never in much danger. The same can't be said, though, for Jack. Up on that snowy mountain, Murphy's Law is not only alive, but well; what can go wrong does - and then some. From the initial gondola ride to the lodge, when Jack sees as rock painted with an Iroquois symbol for death, the action is pretty much nonstop. A killer blizzard - literally - keeps everyone chilling out in the dark as dead bodies start piling up. Clearly, someone's on a spree; can Jack find out who it is before everyone gets frosted?

The ending thrills, chills and brings a few surprises, making for an exciting read. Now I'll be eagerly awaiting the next installment (which the author says will be titled "Jack of Diamonds"). Bring it on!

I love the Jack Stratton series. The characters are wonderful, the plot is well paced and believable. This latest book is a great addition to an excellent series.

Jack Stratton experiences more than Frost"NIPPING AT HIS NOSE! Going undercover to investigate an insurance tragedy; Jack finds himself running from EXPLOSIONS, AVALANCHES, and a KILLER. Posing as a gofer on a reality TV production of "Planet Survival" Jack must struggle with the blizzard weather, hidden agendas and the isolation from civilization. Alice, Jack's fiancee is left at home to work evidence but is also seeking answers to an ancient accident that took the lives of her family. Two mysteries to enjoy along with these heartfelt characters. "A copy of this book was provided by author via Netgalley with no requirements for a review. Reviews here are my honest opinion."
