Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful breed of detectives to American audiences.
#SCHAEFER DARK SHEEP WINE FULL#
Three Bags Full is already an international hit. Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love. There' s Ham, the terrifying butcher Rebecca, a village newcomer with a secret and a scheme Gabriel, the shady shepherd of a very odd flock and Father Will, a sinister priest. Joined by other members of the richly talented flock, they engage in nightlong discussions about the crime and wild metaphysical speculations, and they embark on reconnaissance missions into the village, where they encounter some likely suspects. The A-team of investigators includes Othello, the "bad-boy" black ram Mopple the Whale, a merino who eats a lot and remembers everything and Zora, a pensive, black-faced ewe with a weakness for abysses. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George' s killer. The daily exposure to literature has made them far savvier about the workings of the human mind than your average sheep. George has cared for the sheep, reading them a plethora of books every night. On a hillside near the cozy Irish village of Glennkill, the members of the flock gather around their shepherd, George, whose body lies pinned to the ground with a spade. A witty philosophical murder mystery with a charming twist: the crack detectives are sheep determined to discover who killed their beloved shepherd.
