E-Readers for Serial Killers?
Right now, I'm watching a news report concerning a missing 24 year old California woman who was last seen in a Barnes & Noble cafe.
I was about to change the channel when a criminal profiler referred to Barnes & Noble cafes as "..happy hunting grounds for serial killers. Just buy a cup of coffee and wait." Although it is nice to hear that serial killers read, I can't see Barnes & Noble actually advertising this. Last edited by recluse; 04-29-2010 at 11:15 PM. |

Actually any "law enforcement official referred to Barnes & Noble cafes as ..happy hunting grounds for serial killers." who would make a public statement like that should be severly reprimanded.

I agree. However, I have viewed the original report where that statement was made and the individual is identified as a "criminal profiler". No law enforcement agency mentioned.

Great fodder for my new novel: Henrietta, Portrait of Serial Reader. And its sequel, Henrietta, Sucker for Criminals with a Tattoo. Seriously, an entire genre of literature (if you choose to call it that) caters to women who fantasize about men who are handsome, daring and dangerous. Harlequin is the Heroin of such books, and certainly B&N is a great place to meet that fascinating "Unfeasibly Tall Greek Billionaire".
