Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The mysterious death of their shepherd has sent a flock of sheep into a frenzy trying to piece together whodunit. Overcoming their sheepish ways, the members of the flock realize that they may be the only ones who can solve it. The more intelligent sheep, who have better retention or the intuition to ask the right questions, develop a list of potential suspects. As the investigation continues, the sheep quickly find the conspiracy is quite large, including a significant number of residents of Glennkill, Scotland. The delightful story is chock-full of metaphors and analogies about human behavior, interaction and memory that provide provocative insight. Bailey keeps an excellent pace and tone throughout in a light—almost benevolent—tone that keenly projects the slightly naïve perspective of the sheep. She makes indisputably clear voices for all her characters, including male voices that most would be hard-pressed to discern as coming from a woman. Tantor Media conveniently includes a handy pamphlet that lists the numerous sheep integral to the story along with a brief description of them.

From AudioFile

Without missing a bleat, Josephine Bailey shares the adventures of a flock of Irish sheep who discover their shepherd, George, apparently murdered in the meadow. Georges flock decide they must solve the mystery--after all, he has read to them daily, including one unfinished detective novel. Swanns quirky premise is well-executed by Bailey, who develops the identity of each member of the flock, young and old, ram and ewe. Miss Maple, Othello, Cloud, and others even carry out a showdown at the Smartest Sheep in Glenkill contest in the local pub. The characters of the human villains and other village folk are neatly conveyed in Baileys light Irish accent. Irreverent, comic, and touching fare is delivered with aplomb.
