Frost finds himself with a new partner DS Lawson and this time she is female.
Frost is also feeling lonely and is looking for a romantic attachment. He takes a nurse out, one who helped look after his late wife.
He met the nurse while visiting an elderly woman who got battered.
There has been a spate of burglaries affecting the elderly and several have been beaten up. It seems that these elderly people trusted the person and invited them in. Suspicion falls on the people who drive these old folks to various outings.
Just like the previous episode in series two. There are in fact two culprits. The burglar and the attacker.
Frost's snidey humour works better in this story than the previous one. His cunning is more cutting as well as he winds up the suspect so they make a mistake.
However the episode suffers from a mildly well known actor hanging around in the background syndrome. (One who also played a villain in a Sylvester Stallone movie.) It telegraphs just who the attacker will be revealed to be. Only the motive needs to be established.
