A flock investigates a threat in its winter home

The sheep of Glennkill are on the move, settling with their new shepherdess, Rebecca, near a French château. Their winter quarters bring a fresh mystery: sheep have vanished, deer are dying in the forest, and neighboring goats suspect a werewolf. When a human is attacked, the flock turns its attention to the danger—and to protecting Rebecca. Sheep logic, tarot cards, and a scheme borrowed from a spy all enter their investigation. As a follow-up to *Three Bags Full*, the novel carries its animal sleuths into a new setting and a mystery that blurs the line between local legend and real threat.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries featuring animal investigators.
  • Readers interested in a mystery set around a French château and its neighboring pastures.
  • Readers familiar with *Three Bags Full* who want to follow the flock into another investigation.

Book overview

In the highly anticipated follow-up to the breakout offbeat hit Three Bags Full (now a major motion picture: The Sheep Detectives), an enterprising flock of sheep must get to the bottom of just who--or what--is leaving a trail of grisly destruction in its wake.

With one solved mystery under their wooly belts, the time has come for the sheep of Glennkill to explore Europe. Together with their new shepherdess, Rebecca, they move into their winter quarters in the shadow of a French chateau. But their new home is far from idyllic. A number of sheep from a previous flock have disappeared, and deer are dying unnatural deaths in the forest. The strange goats from the neighboring pasture have a theory: a werewolf. Could that be real, or just a fantasy?

When a human falls victim, it becomes clear that even fantasies can be fatal. And the last thing the sheep want is to lose another shepherd. With the help of the goats next door, they follow the werewolf's trail in a desperate attempt to save both themselves and Rebecca with sheep logic, courage, and woolpower.

This clever, tense mystery features the ultimate amateur sleuths as they ponder curious human motives, attempt to change their fortunes by eating tarot cards, and borrow a harebrained scheme from a not-so-secret spy in an attempt to thwart the beast that's been stalking them.
