A flock of sheep decide to find out who killed their shepherd.

A Sheep Detective Story

Three Bags Full

A quirky group of seniors attempts to solve one murder while covering up another—with the help of an enterprising tortoise—in this twisty, darkly funny mystery from the author of Three Bags Full. It has been an eventful morning for Agnes Sharp and the other inhabitants of Sunset Hall, a house share for the old and unruly in the sleepy English countryside. Although they have had some issues (misplaced reading glasses, conflicting culinary tastes, decreasing mobility, and gluttonous grandsons), nothing prepares them for an unexpected visit from a police officer with some shocking news. A body has been discovered next door. Everyone puts on a long face for show, but they are secretly relieved the body in question is not the one they’re currently hiding in the shed (sorry, Lillith). It seems the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen right into their laps. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbor, so they can pin Lillith’s death on them, thus killing two (old) birds with one stone (cold killer). With their plan sorted, Agnes and her geriatric gang spring into action. After all, everybody likes a good mystery. Besides, the more suspicion they can cast about, surely the less will land on them. To investigate, they will step out of their comfort zone, into the not-so-idyllic village of Duck End and tangle with sinister bakers, broken stairlifts, inept criminals, the local authorities, and their own dark secrets.

The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp

Leblos liegt der Schäfer George Glenn im irischen Gras, ein Spaten ragt aus seiner Brust. Die Schafe von George 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. Unerbittlisch folgen sie der Spur des Täters und kommen den Gehimnissen 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.

Glennkill

"Es ist soweit: Für die Schafe von Glennkill beginnt ein neues, wollsträubendes Abenteuer. Gemeinsam mit ihrer Schäferin Rebecca haben sie die irische Heimat verlassen und ihre ersehnte Europareise angetreten! In Frankreich beziehen sie Winterquartier im Schatten eines entlegenen Schlosses, und eigentlich könnte es dort recht gemütlich sein--wären da nicht die Ziegen auf der Nachbarweide, die mysteriöse Warnung eines fremden Schafes und das allgemeine Unbehagen vor dem Schnee. Ein Mensch im Wolfspelz!--wispern Ziegen und Menschen. Ein Werwolf! Ein Loup Garou! Oder doch nur ein Hirngespinst? Als dann ein Toter am Waldrand liegt, ist schnell nicht mehr klar, wer gefährlicher ist: der Garou oder seine Jäger. Fest steht, dass die Schafe schnell Licht ins Dunkel bringen müssen, um sich selbst und ihre Schäferin zu schützen. Und schon bald folgen sie mit bewährter Schafslogik einer ersten Spur, die sie durch die Gänge des Schlosses und das Schneegestöber der Wälder führt."--Publisher website.

Mord in Sunset Hall

The Agnes Sharp mystery series ends with a bang in this explosive finale from the author of Three Bags Full.

The octogenarian housemates at Sunset Hall are busy preparing for the wedding of one of their own, the blind and blushing bride Bernadette, but as the big day approaches, they must fend off a mysterious killjoy from the past.

Spring is in the air, and Sunset Hall is abuzz with anticipation of Bernadette’s upcoming wedding. But not everyone is feeling celebratory. Namely, her best friend, Agnes Sharp, who isn’t a fan of Bernadette’s plan to leave the house share and its residents behind. Nevertheless, Agnes and the not-so-sprightly gang of pensioners launch into wedding-planning mode after a spot opens at the high-class Foxglove Manor—in just two weeks.

The minimum number of guests to even get the champagne fountain bubbling is twenty—a tall order for a reclusive couple in their eighties. Not to mention the high likelihood that their friend groups might not be compatible: Bernadette was once a police informant, while Jack, the groom, used to make a living in organized crime.

Just when they think they have the guest list squared away, a threatening note appears at the house. Agnes and the others decide to handle it themselves, not wanting to cause the betrothed stress. With some assistance from a private investigator (another person to add to the guest list!), Agnes digs into the case of the poison-pen letter, determined to ensure the wedding goes off without a hitch . . . aside from the bodies they’ve already had to hide from the bride. Will Bernadette and Jack happily ride off into the sunset together, or will this be sundown for Sunset Hall for good?

As winter begins to bite at Sunset Hall, Agnes Sharp is grudgingly pleased to discover that one of her fellow OAP housemates has won a luxury holiday to a secluded Cornish hotel called the Eden. The incredible menu, spa treatments and an unexpected boa constrictor aside, Agnes and her geriatric companions will soon discover that the hotel is a long way from paradise.

They have barely checked in when Agnes sees a disturbing incident on the clifftop: could she have witnessed a murder? A storm cuts the hotel off from the outside world and the body count starts to rise. There is a cold-blooded killer on the loose and it is up to the senior-citizen sleuths to get to the bottom of it. Unlike them, the day is still young, and there is a lot to do.
