Tuesday Book Club

Join us for this month's book: 'Three Bags Full' by Leonie Swann.

The Tuesday Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of every month. We discuss a wide variety of genres, but we focus on popular fiction and nonfiction. 

Three Bags Full

Something is not right with George, the shepherd. His sheep have gathered around him outside the cozy Irish village of Glennkill to assess the situation. George cared for the sheep and read them books every night, and now he lies pinned to the ground with a spade. His flock, far savvier about the workings of the human mind than your average sheep, sets out to find George’s killer, led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world).

Her team of investigators includes Othello, who was rescued from the Dublin Zoo; Mopple the Whale, who is always hungry and remembers everything; and Zora, an existential ewe—just to name a few. Together, the sheep discuss the crime late into the night, and their speculations vary wildly. Determined to unravel the mystery, they embark on furtive missions into the village, where they encounter a hoof-full of two-legged suspects. There is Ham, the terrifying butcher who smells of death; Rebecca, the secretive village newcomer; and Father Will, a sinister priest the sheep call God.

With wit and heart, this clever international best seller is a mystery to chew on—and savor.
