Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2478 KP) rated A Body to Spare (An Odelia Gray Mystery, #10) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Odelia’s day of running errands come to an abrupt end when the attendants at the car wash pop her trunk and find a dead body there. Who was he in life? And why would someone leave him for Odelia to find?

From that simple premise comes another fun adventure for Odelia and the rest of the crew. The plots twists to some unexpected places. The characters are charming and wonderful as always. Add in a dash of wit and you’ve got another winner. I rest most of it in 24 hours, and I’m already anxious for Odelia’s next adventure.

Excellent subtle portrayal by Ben Affleck, autism played well (0 more)

Spoiler alert! Clunky plot twist, that's actually pretty obvious (0 more)

Autistic assassin, also an accountant

Excellent portrayal of autism, watch it a few times to pick up on it. A very good action adventure, fast paced, full of good scenes. A few clunky plot twists, but pretty obvious. Ben Affleck plays it well, either very well written or he researched autism, probably both. John Lithgow is great as usual. But as said clunky to bring the brothers together, as if the same contractor would coincidentally hire the same two estranged brothers, but it is obvious from early on. Yes an excellent action autistic assassination adventure, gets top marks for assonance. I highly recommend it.

Seen this too many times

I used to watch this movie a lot when I was in middle school.

Kind of a Star Wars/Logan's Run ripoff where an enslaved civilization lives underground doing the bidding of the evil Zygon never questioning if there is a world above or where they fit in the universe. The discovery of a mysterious sword hilt send Orin on an outer space adventure he would never forget.

It was always funny hearing animated characters says "damn" and "shit" when I was younger. Not a big deal now.

Originally released in 3D, you can tell when you watch, but it is still an entertaining animated thrill ride adventure.
