From School Library Journal
Grade 6-10-- The body isn't in the woods, it isn't in the garden, and it isn't under the manure pile. Sixteen-year-old Bodie has two weeks to prove that his employer, an elderly farmer named Henry, has murdered his overbearing wife, Bella, with a chainsaw--but first he has to find her remains. Joined by his sister and his best friend, Bodie races time to bring Henry to justice, but his fumbling attempts at detection lead to one slapstick adventure after another. This wry novel combines full characterization and wacky situations to keep readers chuckling. It is warm, well written, and genuinely funny. --Doris A. Fong, Benson Polytechnic High School, Portland, OR
