I am sure others already know, I tend to be late on the scene but just in case. Lol. Barbara Block has a series of murder mysteries with a pet shop owner, Robin Light, as the main character. In the novel "The Scent of Murder" there is mention of a ferret as a pet as one of the characters. Not a main addition by any means, but the ferret does appear several times, and always in a most wonderful way. Plus the writing is good on top of it all. Blessings, Margie [Posted in FML issue 5191]
