A cozy, smart detective story in which no one pretends to be a sheep.
Not far from the small Irish village of Glenkill, on a green meadow, a shepherd George lies with a shovel in his chest. George was a good shepherd and took care of his sheep—he even read them books at bedtime. And the sheep decide, no matter what, to find his killer.
Miss Mapple, perhaps the cleverest sheep in Glenkill, Othello, a ram with a mysterious past, and Zora, Heide, Sir Richfield, Fosco, and other detectives take on the case. They’ll have to make a raid into the village, solve the mystery of George’s murder, and understand these strange people a little better.
