For context, I have just read A Father's Story by Lionel Dahmer (Jeffrey Dahmer's father) and loved it. I find it so incredibly interesting to learn about human nature.
I am looking for similar books, ideally written by relatives or loved ones.

The Stranger Beside Me should be on your list. By Ann Rule.
Sons of Cain by Peter Vronsky. This is a book about the history of serial killers and is in my opinion one of the absolute best. A lot of books act like serial killers just magically popped into existence with Jack the Ripper but this book goes back much farther. It talks about things like how the Church used to prosecute people who committed these types of crimes as werewolves. It also deals with how we even came to recognize and classify these types of crimes.
Vulgar Favors: The Hunt for Andrew Cunanun by Maureen Orth.
On the Farm by Stevie Cameron
It’s about the Canadian serial killer Robert ‘Willie’ Pickton
Helter Skelter about the Manson Family.
I loved Shadow Man by Ron Franscell. It’s the only True crime I’ve read that has a “who-done-it” feel!
A Mother’s Reckoning – Sue Klebold
Thank you all so much for the great suggestions, I’ll probably add all of them on my goodreads list!
