Big Bad Wool by Leonie Swann
Shortlisted for the CWA Dagger for Crime Fiction in Translation On the edge of a French forest, a flock of unusually clever sheep - educated by bedtime stories and past detective work - face a chilling new mystery and the threat of a shadowy figure. Sheep have vanished, other animals too. The theory of a werewolf might be just a wild fairy tale, but when a human is killed, it becomes clear that even fantasies can be fatal. Miss Maple, Mopple and their woolly companions, aided by their goat neighbours, set out to reveal the truth. Armed with sheep logic, courage, and a steady supply of food, the flock follow the werewolf's trail determined to prevent any more bloodshed.
Leonie Swann's debut novel, Three Bags Full, was an instant hit, topping the bestseller charts in her native Germany for months and being translated into 26 languages. She has since continued her ovine detectives' investigations in Big Bad Wool and introduced a motley crew of senior sleuths in The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp. Swann lives in Bedfordshire.
