Following on from '
Glennkill: Ein Schafskrimi' (English:
Three Bags Full), 'Garou' unites us back with George's Irish flock of sheep, who have now embarked on their long-promised trip to Europe with George's daughter, Rebecca, and her sheepdog, Tess. Their travels have led them to France, where they are currently spending the winter in a field next to a herd of goats, a spooky forest and a creepy castle. When dead deer begin to be found in the forest, rumours circulate that the `Garou', a werewolf, is to blame. Should Miss Maple and co. heed the warnings of the mysterious ram who shares their field or the goats next door? Who or what is the Garou? And who is next on his list? To protect themselves and their shepherdess, Miss Maple and co. decide to try and solve the mystery of the Garou once and for all...
I thoroughly enjoyed Glennkill, and Garou doesn't disappoint. The tone is much darker than Glennkill as the story is packed with suspense, but the book still contains all the funny little sheepy quirks and wisdom that made Glennkill so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loved the first book or is looking for something fun and different to read.
