\"\"<\/a>Hello! How is your month of serial killers going? I sincerely hope you’re reading<\/em> about serial killers and not actually meeting any! Of course, Silence of the Lambs<\/strong><\/em><\/a> has other aspects you can read about – the FBI, murders even um, cannibalism. I chose to go with a plan old murder by Louise Penny and I’m very happy with my choice.<\/p>\n

If you’re still looking, maybe a movie would be a good alternative. Here are some ideas.<\/p>\n

Wind River<\/strong><\/em><\/a> with Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner.\u00a0 An\u00a0FBI<\/span>\u00a0agent teams with a town’s veteran game tracker to investigate a murder that occurred on a Native American reservation.<\/p>\n

Sicario<\/strong><\/em><\/a> starring Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin.\u00a0 After an idealistic\u00a0FBI<\/span> agent is recruited by a to pursue a drug lord, she begins a perilous mission that\u00a0 pits her against a shadowy consultant with a dangerous agenda.<\/p>\n

Dirty Harry<\/strong><\/em><\/a> with Clint Eastwood. A rooftop sniper named Scorpio has killed twice. Streetwise San Francisco police detective Harry Callahan will nail the perp one way or another-<\/p>\n

Now You See Me<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. An elite\u00a0FBI<\/span>\u00a0squad in a game of cat and mouse against The Four Horsemen, a super-team of the world’s greatest illusionists.<\/p>\n

Natural Born Killers<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis. The story of a husband and wife who are\u00a0serial<\/span>\u00a0killers<\/span> involved in a cross-country killing spree that elevates them from fugitives into media celebrities.<\/p>\n

Television series that fit the bill include The X-Files<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Criminal Minds<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, White Collar<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Fringe<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Bones<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Dexter<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

And of course, there’s always Silence of the Lambs<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Watch it with a nice Chianti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
