The Cases that Haunt Us by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker is a really good book!.? I also recommend Lizzie Borden: A Case Book of Family and Crime in the 1890s!.? Edited by Joyce G!. Williams, J!. Eric Smithburn, and M!. Jeanne Peterson!.? Interesting, and had a lot of details that I never knew about the Borden murders!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure why you would want to read autobiographical works, but I found Lionel Dahmer's book - the father of Jeffrey Dahmer - "A Father's Story" to be deeply moving!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
