At a bookstore last weekend, I was browsing the mystery shelves when two women started doing the same. One wanted something to read on a plane ride, and her friend’s idea of helping was to spoil the ending of every book she pulled from the shelf: “Oh, you’d like this one. It’s about this girl who gets killed, and at the end they find out it was her father who killed her.” Or “That one was so cool because it turns out that her boss was embezzling money and he killed her to cover it up.” She gave away the ending to at least ten books.

I hate spoilers! Sometimes I don’t even want to read the jacket copy for fear I’ll know too much about the plot.
