Description
This is one of Sgt. Beef's most interesting and perplexing cases. It involves a murder, but one in which no body can be found. Young Rogers announces to Beef and others assembled in a local pub that he has committed a murder--then takes his own life. But where is the victim? How did it happen? "I always supposed," says Beef. "a murder case started with a corpse, and then you had to find out 'oo done it. This time we know 'oo's done it, but we can't find the corpse."Tags

The characters are not very subtle, but they are a relatively fun group to trek around the countryside with. The story is told from the perspective of Townsend who also chronicled the first Beef mystery. This is, first and foremost, a comedy. A tongue-in-cheek amusement that actually has a decent murder-mystery storyline as its frame. The humor is redundant and the plot is not a speeding bullet train. However, it is entertaining and it all turns out right in the end.
The second Sgt. Beef story (?): the good Sergeant is still a policeman, fresh from his success in Case with Three Detectives, and contemplating retiring to life as a private investigator..
