The Reason Why: An Anthology of the Murderous Mind is one of Ruth Rendell's few non-fiction works. It was first published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1995 and a US edition from Crown, New York followed in 1996.[1] The book describes more than 100 murders organized into eight chapters according to motive.[1][2] A reviewer for Publishers Weekly criticized the book for being "too neat", saying the brief descriptions of true crimes "provide neither a serious analytical approach nor a rich imaginative one."[2]
