Yes. This series is based on the true crime book by the real FBI profiler John Douglas. I read this back in the 90's when it came out and have been telling people about it for years. It is basically the story of how criminal profiling came to be and the stories about the killers they interviewed. It is amazing and haunting stuff. Like I said, this is true crime... not a fictionalized novel. Holden Ford is John Douglas in the Netflix adaption. https://www.amazon.com/Mindhunter-Inside-Elite-Serial-Crime-ebook/dp/B000FC0RRY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509022123&sr=8-1&keywords=mindhunter

Here you go: MindHunter by John Douglas is the one I would recommend reading first. I think it really goes far to portray who John Douglas is, how he works, and what his ethics are. Plus, it's just a really good read. https://www.amazon.com/Mindhunter-Inside-Elite-Serial-Crime-ebook/dp/B000FC0RRY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1666369360&sr=8-1

The one to do with JonBenet is just a chapter out of this book. https://www.amazon.com/Cases-That-Haunt-Legendary-Mindhunter-ebook/dp/B000FBJGTA/ref=sr_1_4?qid=1666369399&refinements=p_27%3AJohn+E.+Douglas&s=digital-text&sr=1-4&text=John+E.+Douglas

It’s cool, it’s cool! I’m half disappointed I didn’t get to introduce you to Out of Print, half thrilled you already knew and love it like I do!

Speaking of why murderers are the way they are, you can’t go wrong with anything by John Douglas, the man who basically invented criminal profiling. Netflix’s show Mindhunter is about him, based on one of his books of the same name. I can’t recommend him enough.

And one more I must recommend, similar to Jon Ronson, is Will Storr’s the Unpersuadables: Adventures With the Enemies of Science. He hangs out with folks like the world’s most (in)famous Holocaust deniers, creationists, and 9/11 & 7/7 truthers. He actually visits Auschwitz with a group lead by fucking David Irving, even participating “undercover”, pretending to be a fellow denier. It’s an compellingly readable book, and much like Ronson’s style.

I recommend all of Ronson’s and Storr’s books, because they’re just really fun and on fascinating subjects. Sort of like Malcom Gladwell, only more controversial subjects, while still being so entertaining I reread them every few years. I reread a lot. And read a lot. I’m disabled, so I get to read a ton.

I’d welcome any fiction recommendations you might wish to share!
