B$OWN DESPERATION - TELLING OUTRIGHT LIES

She would also do well to remember that in TV world, you are only as good as your last job. That also applies to Ms Bremner.

In the unlikely event that Ms Bremner is actually involved in B$own's extortion, she is going to have kittens...




Stupid woman - the word is donors, not donators....all of whom are quite capable of thinking for themselves, without being told what to think by a grifter.

And the Portuguese AG doesn't agree with her - he stated that there is a 50/50 chance Madeleine is alive.

The most important question where B$own is concerned, is, who asked her for her input? Same to be said for Bennett.

Jay, she is most likely a jealous bitter old cow and that is why she doesn't like to see people donate to the fund.

Nice one, Jay.

I would really like to know who made her a specialist in the area of abductions.

Rule of thumb - if a pitchforker says it, it isn't true. B$own really has got her ugly on today, I really don't know who she is trying to impress with this spite, but she is doing nothing for what's left of her supposed professional image.

I knew nothing about this till B$own started mouthing off today - she really should not have drawn attention to it.

Dear potential reader of this book: Before investing your time and money, ask yourself, "Do I wish to read the slightly paranoid, somewhat delusional, and definitely egotistical blathering of a so-called expert in profiling who never seems to have brought anyone to justice and who has questionable ethics in naming "suspects" that have never been charged, let alone convicted?" If the answer is no, don't buy this book.

How this woman hasn't been sued for slander is beyond me. If she's using pseudonyms, she doesn't say so, although a bit of googling didn't turn up anything under the aliases she may or may not have given. I certainly don't fault her for being self-taught, but she doesn't seem to have actually learned anything more than anyone else who's watched TV, except how to make wild guesses following that ever reliable "gut." And while she doesn't charge victims' families for her opinions, the families would be wise to keep in mind that you get what you pay for. And to any police departments or investigators thinking about hiring her, please ask her about her success rate. Has she ever testified in court? I'd love to know what it is myself. No one would expect a 100% conviction rate, but her's seems to be less than zero.

Unless you want to waste your time and money padding the author's ego and wallet, don't bother.



Look at the date - May 3, 2010



Going to blame the Evil McCanns for that, is she? There is review after review like that, from US readers - and nothing to do with the McCanns.

Oh, here's another one!

I had issues with this book. Pat Brown is a self-taught profiler. That's not the problem. My problem is that she expresses a lot of prejudice in her writing, and in her work, yet does not clearly demonstrate the data with which she comes to her conclusions. At the same time, none of the cases profiled in this book have lead to successful prosecutions of individuals. Has Brown ever had a case that has seen the conviction of those she accuses?

The book does read well, however, and the stories she presents are fascinating. It is more of a memoir than anything. Like other reviewers, I assumed that I would learn a bit about the (inexact) science of profiling. You will not get that from this book.



There's dozens of them like that

She needn't complain - she is the one who drew attention to a site no-one else was even aware of

This is the worst book I have ever read in regards to anything dealing with the criminal justice systems and criminal profiling. Her method is no method. She uses information that has already been gathered to form an obvious profile, which would take little to no brain power to figure out. Her personality really shines through this book as being self-centered, ignorant, and pompous. Not a good thing to be if you want even the smallest amount of respect from anyone.

I wish we had known all these goodies were languishing there, interrupted by occasional very obvious set-pieces from B$own groupies - you can tell it's them because they aren't very bright, but think B$own is the bees' knees.

I wish we had known all these goodies were languishing there

And what goodies they are. She should be embarrassed.....

I think this is mt favourite:

One of the hazards of an autobiography is that even a person who lives an exciting life may not be a good enough writer to transmit that excitement. On the other hand a biography written by a talented author can make even the most average life interesting.

Unfortunately, Pat Brown is not a talented author. Nor does she seem to have lived all that thrilling a life, despite being a self-taught, self-proclaimed profiler. This book consists of her alternately whining and boasting. She is always right, even though no one supports her, believes her or listens to her.

At the beginning of the book, when she is talking about the guy who stayed in her house, she telegraphs several things:
1) this is a woman who will never admit to being wrong
2) this is a woman who doesn't take responsibility for her own failures
3) this book is going to drive a thinking person crazy

She writes about how her husband didn't believe her that her boarder was a criminal and LONG before she mentions that they're now divorced, it's obvious she's going to say so. If she found all the stuff she says she found in this guy's room, the police should clearly have paid attention. But when she starts going into reasons why the case was never properly investigated (later in the book), she begins to give readers the impression that she may have a slight paranoid personality disorder.

The thing I was most hoping to get when I ordered this book was some sense of what an ordinary woman did that helped her to understand the various aspects of profiling. However, since none of Pat Brown's "cases" ever went to court, so that no hard evidence in the cases ever got examined by *actual professionals,* it's hard to take her seriously. Without reading 400 books, I already know more about blood spatter, weapons, physical capability, psychology and psychopathology than she displays. And I'd never expect anyone to hire me on as a profiler.

Skip this.

Slight paranoid personality disorder?

An extract from one review:

In each case, none of the people she "fingers" as the culprit are charged with the crime. Frequently, she tries to profile cases without the cooperation of the police or even the families involved. In many cases, the cases are extremely old and the evidence isn't made available to her or has been lost or destroyed. She nevertheless manages to find the miscreant and in my opinion, borders on libel by saying that they did the crime without having any evidence to back it up.

Now, what does that remind me of.......

This is interesting...

Besides Brown's book being rambling and self-involved, two things struck me. For a person who claims to look only for facts and not theories, I was amazed that she could dismiss the whole subject of learning disabilities as "bunk," without offering any reasons or arguments, as well as decide to home school her children because she found the school system highly objectionable, but again, without offering a single reason for it. But the worst theorizing without facts was her incredible stereotyping of how a male and female spouse would react to their partner's not coming home anywhere near on time. The man would fall asleep, and the woman would hope her partner was dead, because she was going to kill him otherwise. For a person who claims to stick only to facts, she offers here the most stereotyped gender behavior analysis one could think of. If my wife were several hours late coming home one night, falling asleep is the last thing I would do. Brown has has huge blind spots that she either can't see or won't acknowledge, and she shouldn't be making negative comments about how everyone but her had blind spots while investigating a case.

So, as well as knowing better than the police forces and legal systems of several nations, she also knows better than qualified teachers?

That must have been a bundle of laughs for the kids - cooped up 24/7 with Mommy Dearest, while she told anyone who would listen that her lodger was a serial killer

I cannot help thinking she has reality issues...

I can't take this book anymore. It's misleading! I thought I was going to enjoy a book about profiling psychopaths, but instead I'm slapped in the face with an autobiography about an obsessive housewife trying to convince the world how clever she is; who happens to profile as a hobby. Every time she turns around she's being told she's a lunatic and she just chalks it all up to flaws in the justice system.

If I was to profile this woman I would suggest she suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, narcissism, and uses delusions of grandeur as a defense mechanism while the world around her tells her she's nuts.

Oh, that is a gem, Jayelles

Never given evidence in Court? Is this what she is trying to do? She has never managed to get The Law to call her as an Expert Witness so she has decided to call herself. Sounds like Bennett.

I don't things work quite like, even in America. But we shall see.
