My boss has been murdered and the police think it’s a burglary gone wrong. His daughter doesn’t believe that and neither do I.
Kat Royle has worked for RK Investigations for some years when her boss, Roy, is found dead in his home. When his daughter asks Kat to take over the agency and to find her father’s killer, she doesn’t hesitate.
Originally from ‘up north’, Kat now lives in Lewford on the south bank of the River Thames. Surrounded by a whole host of quirky characters, Kat is streetwise and no one’s fool. Over the years, she has had a number of run-ins with the police who have made it clear they would prefer she kept out of their way. Some chance.
While she tries to track down Roy’s murderer, Kat also has to juggle a number of other cases, and she soon realises that she is going to need help. Enter Zero, a young man who assures her that his days as a hacker are behind him.
A laugh-out-loud murder mystery.

A decent detective story. The heroine is competent and likeable. There are a number of plots on the boil that keep the reader occupied. I look forward to more.

Fast, Funny, and Entertaining Twist on the Cozy Mystery
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2019Verified Purchase
A super introduction to Kat Royle P.I. (Whose success rating is way-up there along with her cholesterol level judging from the volume of fast-food she tucks-away). – 5 Stars
I almost feel like Adele Abbott is having a laugh at the reader’s expense: There are numerous parallels between this and the Witch P.I. series. It’s Witch P.I. just without the witchcraft, custard creams, and talking animals; providing that is, you discount a vocabulary challenged parrot. Even Nero has managed to morph into Zero. That said, I found this opener far more to my taste than the first Witch P. I. book…and, I liked that very much.
‘Murder on Account’ has a retro feel that I really enjoyed. To me, even though it’s clear from the text it’s not intended, it had a very 70s feel about it. Kat Royle lives in a less salubrious part of Greater London that is home to some wonderful characters. Even those that come to light while Kat undertakes the more mundane tasks in life are a joy: The Landlord, café and shop proprietors were great; but my favourite, without a doubt, was Elsie, manager of Suds launderette.
Again, as with the Witch P.I. series, there is more than one mystery going-on here, but the outcomes are far less predictable. I also liked the way Adele Abbott changed my opinion of Kat’s would-be romantic interest during the story. Graeme started-out as a complete drip, but his later heroic actions put him in a slightly different light…although I’d have to say his ‘drip-factor’ still remains well above average!
Overall, this is a very entertaining easy-read that is packed with action. And, judging from the ending of this book, there’s plenty of scope for a second Kat outing…I sincerely hope so. Just one wish: I hope any follow-up doesn’t spend too much time covering what has happened in this one - Read this one first people, it’s great fun!

Not what I expected ...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2022Verified Purchase
... but in a good way. This is an excellent whodunit with a twisting plot and real characters. I like her other books, but this one is even better. Can't wait for the sequel ... I'm going to set Kat Royle on it to see if she can get it for me - "legally" of course. ;-)

Witty murder mystery

Murder on Account by Adele Abbott
An easy to read, witty, murder mystery. Most enjoyable, I even caught myself having a quiet chuckle. A surprise twist at the end that I didn't expect.
