ABOUT THIS SESSION

Pets can bring humor, warmth, and unexpected clues to a mystery. In this session, authors discuss the fun of adding dogs, cats, and other animals to their stories, why they chose specific pets, and the different roles these companions play in helping or complicating the investigation.
