Leblos liegt der Schäfer George Glenn im irischen Gras, ein Spaten ragt aus seiner Brust. Seine Schafe sind entsetzt: Wer kann den alten Schäfer umgebracht haben? Und warum? Miss Maple, das klügste Schaf der Herde, beginnt sich für den Fall zu interessieren. Glücklicherweise hat George seinen Schafen vorgelesen, und so trifft sie das kriminalistische Problem nicht ganz unvorbereitet. Unerbittlich folgen sie der Spur des Täters und kommen den Geheimnissen der Menschenwelt dabei nach und nach auf die Schliche – bis es ihnen schließlich gelingt, Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen und den rätselhaften Tod ihres Schäfers aufzuklären.

I hope it is very good. I accidently ordered it in German, and I have yet to see if it is in English. Life has been extremely busy. but this has come highly recommended by friends. I didn't realize books were available in German were also on this web site. Today I saw others avaailable in other languages. I will have to be more careful in the future. cmoragape

A clever murder mystery told from the point of view of a flock of sheep whose herder turns up dead. I laughed out loud again and again. Good for German readers at the intermediate to advanced intermediate levels, B1/B2.

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2007
A gentle story that reflects the authors background in literature and psychology. The gifted ewe Miss Maple works to solve the mystery of her shepherds untimely murder due to a spade in his heart. The characterizations of her fellow sheep and their view of town society make for a light but satisfying read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I hope this is truly how sheep see the world. A wonderful book.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2018

A German friend of mine bought the English version of this to practice reading fiction in English when she moved back. She only found out afterwards that in fact, the original was in German! So I bought her the original to enjoy, too and to compare the translation to the original.

We both love this book - the pun on Miss Marple is well appreciated, and the teamworking methods the sheep use to solve the mystery are a lesson to anyone who tends to be over-critical of their abilities - nobody is good at everything, but together even the most apparently incompetent sheep can find out what they're good at, and make a big difference in the end. (As isolated PhD students at the time, we took great comfort from this idea).

As an Irish person who's spent a lot of time in the west of the country, I was impressed at Leonie Swann's reconstruction of the area's eccentricities, and as for the personalities of each sheep in the flock - her work is a delight. The mix of humour with a believable ovine view of the world make this one of my favourites.

Si vous aimez le genre policier et que vous avez un niveau intermédiaire voire débutant en allemand alors vous apprécierez parcourir ces lignes. L’intrigue y est efficace, on s’attache facilement aux personnages et on apprécie l’humour qui se propage tout au long de l’ouvrage. Un très bon moment de lecture. En plus, chaque page est ponctuée par un petit dessin de mouton qui saute si vous feuilletez rapidement les pages ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Gelungener Schafskrimi
Reviewed in Germany on January 7, 2009

Die Schafherde ist entsetzt: Eines Morgens liegt ihr Schäfer George Glenn
tot im Gras, ein Spaten ragt aus seiner Brust. Es dauert nicht lange, und
alle Einwohner des irischen Örtchens Glennkill sind versammelt und
rätseln, was passiert ist. Doch nicht nur die Einwohner, auch die Schafe
beginnen mit den Ermittlungen - auf ihre Art. Zum Glück hat ihnen George
immer Kriminalgeschichten vorgelesen und sie sind mit dem Metier vertraut.

Maple, das klügste Schaf der Herde und wahrscheinlich auch der ganzen
Welt, treibt die Ermittlungen voran, doch auch andere Schafe leisten
wertvolle Beiträge: Maude mit der feinen Nase, Mopple the Whale, das
verfressene Schaf mit dem einmaligen Gedächtnis und Ritchfield, der
Leitwidder. Doch auch der Widder Othello mit seiner geheimnisvollen
Vergangenheit weiß Dinge, die schon viele Jahre zurückliegen, die aber mit
dem Fall zusammenhängen. Als Maple den Fall gelöst glaubt, bleibt noch
ein Problem: Wie sollten sie die Schafe den Menschen mitteilen, wer der
Mörder ist?

Wirklich nett wird die Geschichte nicht nur durch die Vermenschlichung der
Schafe, sondern auch dadurch, daß jedes einen eigenen Charakter hat, die
Wesenszüge der Tiere sind fein ausgearbeitet. Dennoch wirkt der Roman
nicht lächerlich oder kindlich, sondern ernsthaft und spannend, mehr als
einmal gerät das eine oder andere Schaf in akute Gefahr. Spannend wird der
Roman auch dadurch, daß viele Schafe mehr wissen, als sie von Anfang an
zugeben - auch kriminalistisch ist die Geschichte recht gut ausgeareitet.
Insgesamt ein sehr lesenswertes Buch.

Great for the Intermediate learner who has a reasonable vocabulary and is prepared to use a dictionary fairl extensively. Fabulous idea and very amusing. I might end up buying the English translation and reading a chapter in German followed by the same Chapter in English. At the moment it's hard going but fun. My vocabulary about sheep is coming on leaps and bounds!!!

A lire, une toute autre approche d'un polar ou l'énigme est résolue (entre autres) par des moutons! Il y a un deuxième tome dont le titre est "Garou" et les moutons sont bien arrivés en Europe, en l'occurence en France, pour résoudre le mystère d'un autre crime. Divertissant!!!
