Glennkill
Glennkill: Ein Schafskrimi | Leonie Swann
Der Siegeszug der Schafe von Glennkill hlt weiter an Leblos liegt der Schfer George Glenn im irischen Gras, ein Spaten ragt aus seiner Brust. Seine Schafe sind entsetzt: Wer kann den alten Schfer umgebracht haben? Und warum? Miss Maple, das klgste Schaf der Herde, beginnt sich fr den Fall zu interessieren. Glcklicherweise hat George seinen Schafen vorgelesen, und so trifft sie das kriminalistische Problem nicht ganz unvorbereitet. Unerbittlich folgen sie der Spur des Tters und kommen den Geheimnissen der Menschenwelt dabei nach und nach auf die Schliche bis es ihnen schlielich gelingt, Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen und den rtselhaften Tod ihres Schfers aufzuklren.

Interesting premise but a bit pointless. Interested in seeing how they are going to make this into a movie....

Because of Tayler Earl and her knitting YouTube page I HAD to buy this book. It looks like a lot of fun.
However, this book was hard to find.#knittersoflitsy

1. I don‘t know that it‘s my favorite (or how unique it is), but it certainly entertains me. I talk to inanimate objects and sometimes name and/or “pack bond” with them. I do it a lot with my doll collection but it also overflows to my car, carts in the supermarket, ladders I use at work, my crockpot, etc.
2. Tagged! An absolute favorite that I need to reread. I think it would honestly be a lot of fun to see it made as a movie too.

So far a great little mystery with sheep as the investigators in the case of the murdered Shepard. It is fun and refreshing because the sheep only know what you would imagine a real sheep to know about, not like in a lot of books with an animal POV where the animal just sounds like a smarter human with a better sense of smell and no hands.

This is absolutely delightful—witty and at times even poignant. Yes, it really is about a flock of sheep solving the murder of their shepherd. I‘ve been describing this as Agatha Christie writing Shaun the Sheep—I could easily see this an animated movie.

The Shepard is murdered. The sheep investigate. #adventrecommends

BookLineNSinker I love this! How clever! 2y
LeslieO @BookLineNSinker And the reason the sheep are smart enough to investigate is because the Shepard read always aloud to them! 2y

This was a totally fun listen that left a lot of questions unanswered. Not in terms of the mystery, but in terms of the flock. The sheep aren‘t completely anthropomorphized; they are like sheep — they just understand English. #audiowalk

The sheep have a memory sheep to keep their memories in case they forget things! I love that. 😊 I didn‘t get to walk far because my back started hurting, but I did get a mile in before I had to quit. It‘s been a bit since that happened. #audiowalk

The sheep are the detectives in this cozy mystery. I think it‘s going to be fun. The two larger pics are at Fairhope Pier, while the smaller ones are at Orange Beach. Most of the places with direct beach access weren‘t open; they probably need to do some cleanup after Ida. #audiowalk

I absolutely loved this book told from the POV of sheep! Definitely a unique murder mystery. I had no idea how it was going to end, but I did have a bit of an inkling before the flock did, though I still didn‘t have all the why‘s and who‘s worked out until the final reveal. I loved all the personalities of the flock!
I believe I have @Addison_Reads to thank for my copy? I know one of you fabulous Littens sent it to me, so a HUGE thank you!

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I also loved that I had the PERFECT bookmark to match with it! 😅 🐑 ❤️ 3y

One of my favorite mysteries. The sheep investigate the murder of the shepherd. They are “far savvier about the workings of the human mind than your average sheep” because the shepherd read books to them every day. #blueandyellow #CuriousCovers

Quirky book told from the sheep's point of view.

I really loved the different personalities of each sheep in this herd. Their observations of the world around them were humorous and kept me intrigued as the mystery unfolded and the sheep searched for answers about who killed their shepherd.

Finished this sheep detective story for #LMPBC and I thought it was cute but a little confusing for me at times because... well, it IS from the sheep‘s perspective so I shouldn‘t be too surprised. Ha! Looking forward to hearing what my group thinks!

This also fulfilled the “Book Gifted to You” prompt for #Booked2019. (Fun fact: it was a gift from @mrsmarch for my first Litsy Swap!)

Cinfhen What an interesting premise 🐑 5y

Another go to book of mine. I often buy it for people, saying, I can‘t explain it just read it you won‘t be sorry. Part detective story, part mythology ( was melmont real ) but always very very funny

jeannasser Sounds interesting 🤔 5y
Fairyvixen It‘s incredibly funny but at the same time has a very dreamy mythical feel about it, actually I think I might start it again tonight 😊it‘s very comforting 5y

These flock of sheep were quite lovely. I enjoyed going on the journey with them to solve the mystery. Their naïveté was endearing and had me enlambered (get it) ?
There was a small trigger for me in this book but otherwise I enjoyed it a lot. It‘s fun to get a perspective other then human on a story.
