Three Bags Full

A Sheep Detective Story
Book • 2005
Three Bags Full is a charming and witty detective story set in the Irish village of Glennkill, where a flock of intelligent sheep discovers their shepherd George dead, pinned to the ground by a spade.

Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill, the flock embarks on a mission to solve the mystery of his death.

Through the sheep's unique perspective and their literal interpretations of human behavior, the novel combines humor with deeper themes of depression, loss, community, and justice.

The story follows the sheep as they conduct furtive investigations, encounter various suspects, and piece together clues in their own distinctive way.
