I read Mark Freestone's Making a Psychopath: My Journey into 7 Dangerous Minds. It's was a short and frankly somewhat shallow book, but I did think it was okay. My own interest in the subject matter probably carried the experience for me, but the seven cases were also genuinely interesting.
Right now I'm reading Andy Weir's Artemis, since I really liked The Martian, just like pretty much everyone else. Artemis, however, has not lived to The Martian so far. While I really, really love the moonbase setting, the main character and dialogue doesn't have the wit and charm of the previous book. It's still pretty good, just disappointing.
Speaking of moonbases, I wonder if there's any good sci-fi stories exploring the concept. I have read A.C. Clarke's Earthlight and I remember it was pretty good. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd welcome them!
