Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp

Leonie Swann's debut novel, Three Bags Full, was an instant hit, topping the bestseller charts in her native Germany for months and being translated into 26 languages. She has since continued her ovine detectives' investigations in Big Bad Wool and introduced a motley crew of senior sleuths in The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp. Swann lives in Bedfordshire.
