Soledad Women
The writing in this Murder-pedia is irritatingly glib. i.e. Ted Kaczynski's entry starts out, If Ted Kaczynski had just met the right girl and managed to get laid, we might have been spared the Unabomber. Um... ok.
Also the book tries to be lurid but is actually not lurid enough-- it aspires to be the dead-tree equivalent of the trutv crime library, but lacks the latter's scope & depth. The entries in American Murder are all fairly short, and they suffer for the lack of detail.
On the organized crime front, most modern American gangs (prison or otherwise) aren't covered. It's pretty Mafia-focused, with an eye to how criminals/crimes were made into movies and TV shows. True to the title I suppose but I didn't find the focus that interesting.
