Product Information

A witty philosophical murder mystery with a charming twist: the crack detectives are sheep determined to discover who killed their beloved shepherd. On a hillside near the cozy Irish village of Glennkill, the members of the flock gather around their shepherd, George, whose body lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George has cared for the sheep, reading them a plethora of books every night. The daily exposure to literature has made them far savvier about the workings of the human mind than your average sheep. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George's killer. The A-team of investigators includes Othello, the "bad-boy" black ram; Mopple the Whale, a merino who eats a lot and remembers everything; and Zora, a pensive black-faced ewe with a weakness for abysses. Joined by other members of the richly talented flock, they engage in nightlong discussions about the crime and wild metaphysical speculations, and they embark on reconnaissance missions into the village, where they encounter some likely suspects. There's Ham, the terrifying butcher; Rebecca, a village newcomer with a secret and a scheme; Gabriel, the shady shepherd of a very odd flock; and Father Will, a sinister priest. Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love. "Three Bags Full" is already an international hit. "It's rather as if Agatha Christie had re-written "The Wind in the Willows", and I ended by loving it, "Jane Jakemanwrote in "The Independent". Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful breed of detectives to American readers.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Large cast of characters makes it difficult to stay on top.

    I am 1/3 of the way through. Oddly difficult to follow. So many characters (even though they are sheep) it is hard to get started after having to lay it down. I almost need a score card. Plus, they use British language and I do not understand all of it. I am determined to get through it, hopefully I will get in a groove soon.

  • Sheep make good detectives.

    Three Bags Full is a really beautifully written mystery. A flock of sheep work out a number of clues to discover who is responsible for the death of their shepherd. (Yes, they talk to each other. Once I was reading story, that seemed natural.) Lots of local flavor, each sheep has a distinct character and way of thinking. Some are smarter. Some are observant. They have various attitudes towards the humans around them. Gossiping sheep! It's a great story.
