Final Account by Peter Robinson
5.0
When the body of an accountant is found brutally murdered with most of his face gone, it soon becomes obvious that this was more than just a murder. Keith Rothwell was an ordinary, colorless man who nobody seemed to know. He worked tirelessly and made a lot of money, living in a beautiful restored farmhouse. His wife and daughter are horrified to discover the body, but everything matches - the appendix removal scar, the blood type, the clothing. Then a woman calls to say the face of the man in the newspaper is her friend and one time lover, Robert.
Soon things begin to heat up when money laundering and tax evasion become part of the case. I just finished watching the five seasons of the Alan Banks series that starred Stephen Tomkinson, not the person I would have chosen, but he did a fine job nevertheless. The episodes were surprisingly close to the books although, despite the fact that some were of the earlier books, he was no longer married to Sandra. It's too bad there aren't anymore because I really enjoyed the series including the wonderful scenery.
When I was a little less than half through the book, I realized that this was one I had seen televised. Like the other books in the series, there are loads of twists and turns. The ending is left somewhat ambiguous which is interesting.
I have yet to read a Peter Robinson/DI Banks that has disappointed me. This one was no different. It was enjoyable to the end.
