Shaun the Sheep meets Midsomer Murders. Absolutely delightful. This is told from the point of view of a flock of very clever sheep. They find their beloved shepherd murdered, and are determined to find the culprit, despite a less-than-complete understanding of humans. The book has a silly premise, but is very cleverly executed. The sheep are delightful characters, and it is fun observing humans through their eyes and understanding more than the sheep do about what they are watching.

Audiobook version. I chose this book based on recommendations I read on Good Reads. The premise sounded intersting, and I think the story has promise. I might even try again sometime with the print version. The audio version was so badly performed that I gave up after about half an hour. Perhaps the reader was attempting to emulate the bleating of sheep or something. I'm not sure, only that I was sorry I wasted one of my Audible credits on it.

A flock of sheep investigates the circumstances around the death of their shepherd.

Good book, but difficult to get into. The sheepy point-of-view doesn't give us a clear picture of what's going on, which sets up an interesting "unreliable narrator" puzzle.

Somehow I read two similar books very close together. A Thursday Murder Club book and this one, The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp. Both involve senior citizens living together solving mysteries. The Thursday Murder Club’s seniors still are “with it.” The senior citizens in The Sunset Years had a lot of maladies. It was very difficult to read about, although I feel probably realistic. Together as a group they functioned as one. Overall, the book was okay, I just prefer the Thursday Murder Club.… (mais)
