Three Bags Full (Sheep Detective Story, #1)

I never thought I would find myself commenting in a book review about how realistic the sheep characters seemed to be. But in Leonie Swann’s delightful murder mystery, I repeatedly found myself thinking “Yes! I bet that’s exactly what a sheep would think!� While these crime-fighting sheep are smart and understand English, they are still just so…sheepy that I had no trouble losing myself in their world. The author’s depiction of flock’s attempt to make sense of certain quirks of human behavior from a sheep’s perspective was particularly well done.
Besides, how can you not love a novel that has a flip-book built into it?

Having owned sheep for more than a decade, I too was impressed with the very sheepiness of the flock in Three Bags Full. The author MUST have had close contact with sheep to capture these behaviors. Just wonderful :)

I don't know much about sheep, so I'm glad to hear that from an expert. I do hope she's working on a sheepy sequel...
I totaly agree with you, I thought the same thing the whole time the sheep were investigating. I've been around sheep on and off my whole life and couldn't imagine them thinking any other way. Leonie Swann did a fantastic job.
The comments here brought me so much joy haha I am ready for this book ✨💕🐑�
