Three Bags Full by Leonie SwannMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Three Bags Full is the first book in the Sheep Detective Story series by Leonie Swann. They did just make it into a movie (which I haven't watched). You can read this as a standalone.
When their shepherd is murdered, his flock takes it upon themselves to solve the mystery because they feel they owe it to him for being good to them. Also, they are a little afraid of ending up on the butcher's block if they don't. They can tell that not everyone has their best interests at heart. The sheep are fun and interesting characters. We get to delve into their inner lives and back stories. They all bring something to the table to help solve the mystery. While it is mostly funny, it was also sad. Whether people believe it or not, animals do grieve. There were some very touching moments.
