A witty philosophical murder mystery with a charming the crack detectives are sheep determined to discover who killed their beloved shepherd.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. George has cared for the sheep, reading them a plethora of books every night. The daily exposure to literature has made them far savvier about the workings of the human mind than your average sheep. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George's killer.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. 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. 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. Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love.Three Bags Full is already an international hit. "It's rather as if Agatha Christie had re-written The Wind in the Willows, and I ended by loving it," Jane Jakeman wrote in The Independent. Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful breed of detectives to American readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Hörbuch der Extraklasse !
Reviewed in Germany on September 2, 2006
Noch nie habe ich ein Buch ein zweites Mal gelesen, ebenso wenig ein Hörbuch nochmals angehört. Aber die Geschichte der Schafe hat mich wirklich fasziniert und hier habe ich meinen Grundsatz gebrochen. Nachdem ich das Hörbuch mittlerweile in und auswendig kenne, habe ich mir auch das Buch vorgenommen.

Was will ich damit sagen: absolute Kaufempfehlung. Wer mal was anderes hören möchte als die vielen blutrünstigen Hörbuchkrimis liegt hier genau richtig. Hervorragend, wie die Sprecherin Andrea Sawatzki die Stimmung und die Persönlichkeit der Schafe herüber bringt. Wenn ich heute Schafe auf einer Wiese sehe, betrachte ich diese Tiere mit ganz anderen Augen.

Einziger Wermutstropfen am Hörbuch: Die letzten 2 Seiten des Buches fehlen! Das abrupte Ende im Hörbuch findet in der Printversion einen erweiterten Ausklang. Wer nur die Hörbuchfassung kennt, sollte sich irgendwo das Buch schnappen und die beiden Seiten kurz lesen.

Sehr empfehlenswertes, unterhaltsames und nie langweilig werdendes Hörbuch mit angenehmer Stimmen vorgetragen. Wir hören es sehr gerne. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

5.0 out of 5 stars prima fürs Auto
Reviewed in Germany on June 29, 2013
Hatte erst das Buch. Konnte mich dann aber nicht zum Lesen aufraffen. Mit der CD bin ich total glücklich. Sie hat mich über langweilige Autofahren hin begleitet und nun habe ich auch das zweite Buch von Leonie Swann als CD im Auto.

2.0 out of 5 stars Das bisher einzige Hörbuch, das ich nicht beendet habe
Reviewed in Germany on December 14, 2006
Tja, ich war von der Thematik überaus angetan. Als Hörbuch auf dem täglichen Weg zur Arbeit - warum nicht? Und (insoweit will ich es auch bei 2 Sternen belassen), die Idee ist ja wirklich originell. Aber, die Umsetzung - sowohl literarisch als auch der Vorleserin kann mich absolut nicht begeistern. Die Autorin war anscheinend selbst allzu vernarrt in ihre Idee. Dauernd wird (teils unterschwellig, teils mit dem Holzhammer) daran erinnert, daß ja hier Schafe handeln (so ein schlechtes Gedächtnis haben die Leser oder Hörer doch nun auch wieder nicht!). Und auch die Leistung der Leserin ist absolut uninspiriert. So lese ich vor, wenn es schon zu spät ist und ich überhaupt keine Lust mehr habe, meinen Kindern etwas vorzulesen; motiviertes Lesen klingt deutlich anders. Für eine ausgebildete Schauspielerin ist die gebotene Leistung wirklich nicht angemessen.
