A search for lost sheep from the family farm leads Penny Cavanagh straight into a murder mystery that hits close to home.
It’s the dead of winter in Blarney Green, Ireland, and a flock of idle pranksters have decided to entertain themselves by abducting sheep from local farmers and redistributing them in increasingly creative locations. Penny Cavanagh soon gets shepherded into the problem when some of her uncle’s ewes go missing. The situation escalates from nuisance to heartbreak when she and her cousin Nora locate the sheep—and encounter the dead body of Nora’s former flame Bruce Logan in the same pasture.
The local Garda soon rule Bruce’s untimely demise a homicide, and Penny becomes determined to root out the murderer to give Nora closure. As Penny continues her search for the truth, she begins to suspect that one of Blarney Green’s own residents just might turn out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. At best, failing to find the killer might make Penny feel sheepish . . . at worst, it’ll herd her right into harm’s way.
