Perfect for you if...

  • You love mysteries that don't take themselves seriously but still deliver genuine plot twists and satisfying detective work.
  • You enjoy quirky ensemble casts with distinct personalities and want characters you'll genuinely care about.
  • You appreciate books that blend humour with real emotional stakes, where the stakes matter even though the protagonists are woolly.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer straightforward, no-nonsense crime procedurals without anthropomorphic characters complicating the narrative.
  • You want a gritty, dark mystery told from a human perspective rather than a cosy, philosophical take on crime.
  • You're looking for romantic subplots or love interests, as this focuses entirely on the detective work and the sheep's bond with George.

About this book

A mystery novel set in the Irish village of Glennkill, where a flock of sheep investigates the death of George, their shepherd, who is found pinned to the ground with a spade. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in the village, the flock includes Othello (rescued from Dublin Zoo), Mopple the Whale (who remembers everything), and Zora, an existential ewe. George had read to the sheep every night, and they prove far more perceptive about human nature than typical sheep. The sheep discuss the crime at length and conduct missions into the village to investigate suspects, including Ham the butcher, Rebecca a newcomer to the village, and Father Will, a priest. The novel combines mystery with humor and explores the investigation through the sheep's perspective and reasoning.
