Speaking as a writer, not someone who solves crimes for a living: this is a research dream.
I am currently studying Forensic Investigation (finished at the end of the year) and one of my units is Offender Profiling.
My Lecturer for the unit has this book and speaks from it as if it's a bible.. So I thought I'd get it and it is a wonderful, wonderful book! So many definitions about the different types of murders and serial killers and lots of case studies.
For those interested in Criminology and other aspects, I suggest reading this book!!

Great resource for investigators trying to understand motive or the type of offender that committed a specific crime. This booked helped us solve a rape case when we needed to figure out how to approach the suspect to tell us what really happened. This book paid for itself many times over! This is set up as a reference book, not something you might read cover-to-cover.
Great reference book.
It was interesting to see how everything gets classified.
