"The Best Sheep Detective Novel You'll Read All Year"
-
When I heard that this book was a "sheep detective novel," I thought it would be fun and clever but also a bit of a novelty act. Not so. I loved this book to death. It was funny and charming but also meaningful and thoughtful. Here's the plot description from GoodReads:
"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, a flock of sheep gathers around their shepherd, George, whose body lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George has cared devotedly for the flock, even reading them books every night. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George’s killer."

Thanks for the review, Lynn. Now that I've got your confirmation it's well worth reading, I'll have to check it out.
Hi from the little dog.

Susan, we MUST write a detective novel in which Spot and Rocky are the detective team.
Wouldn't that be a hoot! Let's think on it... Susan
Or should I say, "what a howl?" Susan
