Three Bags Full: a sheep detective story by Leonie Swann


I think I'll borrow the quote from The Guardian about this adult novel: "Genuinely odd and affecting...The best sheep detective novel you'll read all year."

Heehee. The shepherd is dead. And the sheep are going to figure out who killed him. Led by Ms. Maple, the "cleverest sheep in the flock" and stoically led by a few rams, the flock is set on investigating the mysterious events of Glenkill, Ireland. It works. While I didn't laugh out loud, I did smile. This is recommended to those who loved Watership Down or the movie Babe.
