An excellent storyline. "Death benefits" is a complex and well thought out episode which ties together a murdered policeman's wife, the theft of an art gallery and insurance fraud.
The opening scene involves Jardine rushing to attend a silent alarm at the art gallery. Sargeant John Fraser slips away from the robbery to his house and we then see him standing over the battered body of his wife. When Taggart investigates he discovers a list of names on the victim and soon realises that the people on the list are meeting with mysterious deaths. He also discovers the victim was working secretly as a stripper.
Meanwhile, Sargeant John Faser is being blackmailed by the art thieves who saw him slip away. An old colleague of Taggart's is called in to investigate the robbery which complicates life for our veteran detective.
On the home front Jean Taggart is being seen around town with a mystery man who is wining and dining her.
John Fraser is played by Alexander Morton who we saw in episode two "Dead Ringer." Ken Hutchison puts in a good performance. Taggart continues to improve and season 9 is the best so far.
