Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story | Leonie Swann

I wanted to read a mystery so when I was perusing my shelves, I was delighted to remember this one is translated from the German since it‘s women in translation month.

The second murder mystery solved by sheep is as good as the first one. Definitely an unconventional idea and for sure a funny one. It seems to me that the abrupt solution of the first case was used on purpose because in Big Bad Wool it just happens the same - I had to turn back a page and reread it otherwise it would have slipped my attention.

When the Dramatis Personae are a minority 🤣🤣🤣

LittlebearReads I read this, then gave it to my mom who almost immediately wanted to know which sheep I most closely identified with 😂 2mo

MariaW @LittlebearReads And who are you? I think I am identifying with Sir Richfield - talking about my favourite topics to trees. 🤣 2mo

LittlebearReads @MariaW I think I said Mopple, because he is the memory sheep and I have a rather sticky brain 😂 2mo

Finished this one last weekend while reading at my favourite summer place - a bench with a beautiful of the river Aare. This murder mystery was nothing I‘ve read before. I passd by this book so many times over the years and was always prevented to buy it by the sheep on the cover and in story. Then I came across a review by @Aims42 of book two and got intrigued. Of course I had to start with book 1 first and got swept off my feet because I was …

MariaW … laughing so hard. The end was a bit short and rather weird. I am not sure what to make of it - maybe it is supposed to be a philosophical one? 🤔 But the other 400 pages made up for it. And I ordered book two right away!!! 🤣 (edited) 3mo

Aims42 Awwwww! I‘m so glad you gave it a chance! I agree the ending was a bit short, some of it I thought maybe was because it‘s a translation? You‘ll love Book 2 I bet! 3mo

AnnCrystal 🤩🌊😍💝. (edited) 3mo

MariaW @Aims42 German is the original - weird right? There are not many books I can read in my mothertongue, but this is one. It is funny that I had to come across a translation (your post) to get hooked. 🤣🤣🤣 I think the ending is meant to be that short, somehow the journey seems to be the reward. 3mo

Aims42 @MariaW Haha, that is funny how it was the translation from your mothertongue that you saw first 😆 I like your ending theory, it‘s not the destination it‘s the journey 😍🥰 3mo

What a weird, fun, read! The ending fell a little flat for me as I felt there were too many untied threads, but I‘d still recommend it to anyone who is looking for a slightly unusual mystery!

Big Bad Wool | Leonie Swann

#TopReads2025 for May goes to 2 favorite books that I couldn‘t decide which one I loved more, so they both are picked! “Big Bad Wool” by Leonie Swann and “Dungeon Crawler Carl” by Matt Dinniman are quite possibly as opposite as you can get but were both fun! One has talking sheep who solve a murder, the other has a talking cat surviving a Hunger Games-esque quest with her boxer wearing bodyguard. I‘d highly recommend both!! 🐑🔎🐈👑
