A flock follows a troubling trail

In this follow-up to *Three Bags Full*, the sheep of Glennkill leave home for winter quarters near a French chateau, where their new surroundings bring a fresh mystery. Missing sheep and unnatural deaths among the deer prompt the neighboring goats to suggest a werewolf; when a human is also attacked, the flock sets out to investigate and protect their shepherdess, Rebecca. The setup pairs a country-house mystery with animal sleuths confronting the gap between rumor and evidence. Tarot cards, sheep logic, and an unlikely scheme from a would-be spy add distinctive details to the investigation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers who enjoy cozy mysteries with animal detectives.
  • For those interested in mysteries that mix a rural setting with folkloric possibilities.
  • For readers familiar with *Three Bags Full* who want to revisit the Glennkill flock.

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.
