Thank you for starting this thread. I know what you mean about liking a little humor in detective stories.

In another thread running here, that is more general, I learned about a series that I never would have found otherwise. . .

A Touch of Frost. . .

Sometimes you have to pay close attention so you don’t miss the funny, usually snarky, comments that the detective Jack Frost mumbles. His aim is often his boss.

The boss loves to preen before television cameras and Frost has a way of manipulating him to get him out of his hair by redirecting his attention to getting ready to go before the cameras. And it’s so easy.

The crime is solved in one episode. I like that better than taking an entire season to get things solved.

Another thank you from me to the poster, fishon, who recommended A Touch of Frost in the other thread. It has become our go-to.

Those of us who like New Tricks will like this one, too.

(Monk is a classic. I think there is a little Monk in all of us. Not a lot — maybe — but everybody’s got something.)
