ian brady wrote a book called the Gates of Janus where he discusses other cases...

for years I refused to pay for it...and eventually someone gave me a copy for free...

I don't remember it being particularly insightful..and brady is actually a vile creature.

still if you fancy it:

Sort of similar: Ian Brady wrote a book ( THE GATES OF JANUS: SERIAL KILLING AND ITS ANALYSIS )
that purported to offer a look inside the minds of people who kill. It reads like his letters do, really - a lot of projection and self-absorbed rumination - but there are a few insights here and there. He was surprisingly bright and capable of critical thinking so there may have been some investigative value there. As sick a bastard as he was, sometimes I think about what a pity it was that he wasted his intellect on "committing the perfect murders" rather than becoming an academic on the right side of the law. Kind of like the judge who wished Bundy had become a lawyer instead of a rapist-murderer.
