Más información sobre el libro
A witty philosophical murder mystery unfolds as a flock of sheep sets out to solve the murder of their beloved shepherd, George, found dead on a hillside near the Irish village of Glennkill. With George's nightly readings instilling them with a unique understanding of human nature, the sheep, led by the astute Miss Maple, embark on an investigation. The team includes Othello, the rebellious black ram; Mopple the Whale, a gluttonous merino with a remarkable memory; and Zora, a thoughtful ewe drawn to the depths of existence. Together, they engage in deep discussions about the crime and explore metaphysical ideas while conducting reconnaissance missions in the village, where they encounter potential suspects. These include Ham, the menacing butcher; Rebecca, a mysterious newcomer with ulterior motives; Gabriel, the dubious shepherd of an unusual flock; and Father Will, a shadowy priest. As they navigate their investigation, the sheep grapple with their own human-like emotions of guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love. This charming tale has captivated readers worldwide, blending humor and heart in a delightful narrative that introduces a unique breed of detectives.
