New Nonfiction: 'Will to Kill'

Fans of both true crime and murder mysteries might want to check out the new book The Will to Kill: Making Sense of Senseless Murder, which analyzes the circumstances in which people kill one another.  Looking at homicide statistics and trends, the authors thoroughly cover the topic of murder from hate crimes to domestic and workplace killings, and they examine criminals from juvenile first-time offenders to serial killers.  The book also looks at the criminal justice system's response to these crimes, a nice bonus for armchair sleuths (or would-be authors of police procedurals) who want to learn what really happens during a murder investigation and trial.
