Nachdem ich "Gray" von Leonie Swann einfach großartig fand, habe ich mich sehr auf dieses (Hör)Buch gefreut. Die Lesung von Andrea Sawatzki hat mich gut unterhalten. Wie auch schon in "Gray" waren die Charaktere, vor allem die Schafe, detailliert und fantasiereich gestaltet und beschrieben. Der Mord und seine Aufklärung geriet bei dem "wilden" Leben der Schafe schon fast ein wenig in den Hintergrund.
Dies ist auch mein einziger Kritikpunkt: Die Aufklärung des Mordes zieht sich bisweilen so lange hin, dass die Spanung etwas abflacht. Nichtsdestotrotz ist "Glenkill" ein unterhaltsamer Roman und ich bin gespannt auf die "Fortsetzung".

Audiobook performed by Josephine Bailey
In the village of Glennkill a flock of sheep emerge from the hay barn to begin their daily grazing, only to discover their shepherd dead, a spade pinning his body to the ground. Who killed him? George was a wonderful shepherd, and frequently read to them. They especially liked the love stories and mysteries, and so they feel qualified to begin investigating. The sheep are determined to find out who the killer is and bring him or her to justice.
I was completely engaged and interested in this very different take on the typical murder mystery. These are very bright sheep, though they sometimes misinterpret certain clues. In their defense, their shepherd was a secretive man and there is no shortage of likely suspects. Swann fills the book with philosophical ruminations, sprinkles in some ethics and morality, and adds a good dose of humor. When all was revealed I was as surprised as the sheep at the turn of events. It was a delightful surprise, and I’m glad I read it.
Josephine Bailey does a fine job narrating the audio version. Her pacing is good and she gives all the characters (even the sheep) sufficiently unique voices to differentiate them.
