Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann is a detective story that begins when a beloved shepherd is found dead, leaving his flock of anthropomorphic sheep determined to solve the crime. Led by the clever Miss Maple, the flock pieces together clues in their own way, misinterpreting human habits while stumbling on surprisingly sharp insights. The novel balances humor, charm, and suspense, while also offering a fresh look at community, loyalty, and what it means to search for truth.
Beneath its quirky, entertaining surface, the book offers plenty of substance for discussion: how perspective shapes understanding, the bond between humans and animals, and its reinvention of traditional detective storytelling.
