Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. En una colina cercana a la apacible y pintoresca aldea de Glennkill, un rebaño de ovejas rodea el cadáver de un hombre. Se trata de su pastor, George Glenn, que ha amanecido muerto en la hierba con una pala atravesándole el pecho. ¿Quién puede haberlo asesinado? ¿Y por qué? De inmediato, las rumiantes se reúnen y, una vez acordada la conveniencia de investigar, se ponen en marcha. Por fortuna para el lector, el pastor las ha dejado inusualmente preparadas, ya que su impulso indagador deriva de la costumbre de George de leerles un rato todas las noches: algunos cuentos de hadas, muchas novelas románticas y algún tratado de enfermedades del ganado lanar, e incluso parte de una novela policíaca. Aunque pronto quedará claro que no van a faltar sospechosos, descubrir al asesino no será tarea fácil, por lo que Miss Maple y sus espabiladas compañeras deberán hacer gala de la antigua sabiduría ovina, de sus afilados poderes de observación y de lo que aprendieron de los libros si quieren descifrar con éxito las enigmáticas claves del comportamiento de los humanos, esos seres extraños…  Natt90 | Feb 9, 2023 |  The herd's shepherd is murdered and the flock take it upon themselves to solve the crime. Charming, funny, and really interesting to see a sheep's-eye-view of the world. (  ) wisemetis | Jan 14, 2023 | A shepherd gets shanked with a shovel one night in his flock's pasture and his sheep decide to solve the mystery of who their keeper's murderer is. The flawed narrative is from the flock's point of view as they bumble through the strange events after the murder, trying to suss out what the clues all mean. I have had this book on my list for literally *years* and I was so excited finally to read it. I wanted to - and expected to - love it. I...did not. I didn't like any of the characters, human or ovine, and the schtick of the sheep misunderstanding pretty much everything that happened all while having an accidental deep understanding of human nature, which I suspect was meant to be an absolutely clever delight to the reader throughout, was fun for the first maybe five pages and then got super old super quickly. (  ) electrascaife | Aug 27, 2022 | I tried to read this book because it was recommended to me, but every time I picked it up, it put me to sleep. The characters are sweet sheep, trying to solve the murder. Their sheep innocence was sweet, but the story dragged. (  ) poolays | Jun 25, 2022 | It wasn't as charming as I expected it to be.

 Three Bags Full is ponderous, slow, involved and pedestrian, but it is also genuinely odd and affecting, and without a doubt the best sheep detective novel you're going to read this year. Das wäre so weit einfach nur nett und nicht weiter bemerkenswert, würde die Autorin nicht obendrein furchtlosen Umgang mit literarischen Versatzstücken betreiben. Man kann "Glennkill" als Krimi-Persiflage lesen, man kann sich aber auch ein Vergnügen daraus machen, die Anspielungen und ironischen Zitate zu entdecken.  Und an Tiefe mangelt es auch. Auffallend ist einzig die infantile Liebheit, auf deren Niveau sich Amüsement und Unterhaltung bewegen.  Originellt, rart och väldigt roligt är det hur som helst.

A witty philosophical murder mystery with a charming twist: the crack detectives are sheep determined to discover who killed their beloved shepherd. On a hillside near the cozy Irish village of Glennkill, the members of the flock gather around their shepherd, George, whose body lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George has cared for the sheep, reading them a plethora of books every night. The daily exposure to literature has made them far savvier about the workings of the human mind than your average sheep. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George' s killer. The A-team of investigators includes Othello, the "bad-boy" black ram; Mopple the Whale, a merino who eats a lot and remembers everything; and Zora, a pensive, black-faced ewe with a weakness for abysses. Joined by other members of the richly talented flock, they engage in nightlong discussions about the crime and wild metaphysical speculations, and they embark on reconnaissance missions into the village, where they encounter some likely suspects. There' s Ham, the terrifying butcher; Rebecca, a village newcomer with a secret and a scheme; Gabriel, the shady shepherd of a very odd flock; and Father Will, a sinister priest. Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love. Three Bags Full is already an international hit. Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful breed of detectives to American audiences. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
