Guilty Pleasure

It's deeply unwholesome, I know, and if I spent hours every day at Crime Library it would probably indicate a need for professional help.

But I don't. In fact, I spend a lot more time watching "Without a Trace" and the countless versions of "Law & Order" and "CSI."

The difference is that the stories on TV are "ripped from the headlines," while these are real. I especially recommend the "notorious murders" section.
