Leonie Swann is a German novelist who has made a name for herself with mysteries featuring unconventional detectives. Her debut novel Glennkill (published in English as Three Bags Full) was a bestseller in Germany and introduced readers to a flock of sheep who investigate their shepherd’s murder. The book’s success led to a sequel, Big Bad Wool, and established Swann’s reputation for combining crime fiction with offbeat humor.

Her second series, Miss Sharp Investigates, follows Agnes Sharp and the residents of a retirement home in a small English village. The first book, The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp, appeared in 2020, followed by Agnes Sharp and the Trip of a Lifetime in 2024 and Agnes Sharp and the Wedding to Die For in 2026. Swann’s books have been translated into multiple languages and appeal to readers who enjoy mysteries that do not take themselves too seriously.
