Somehow she pulled this off. This mystery is told from the perspective of a flock of sheep. They are bright, and each has a distinctive personality, but they are still very very sheeplike. Some of the sheep are delightful (I admit to being drawn to Melmouth, but I always liked the mysterious rebels). Some are hilarious and lovable (Mopple the Whale). I was glad to learn how Miss Maple earned her name. Anyway, it works. Strangely enough. They never lose their essential sheepiness. And yet. It is a mystery. With a dead body. And all.
