I recommend Gore Vidal's book, Burr. It's a fictionalized account of Burr's life, presenting him in somewhat more sympathetic terms than he usually gets. Also, for a look at him from his daughter's perspective, there's My Theodosia by Anya Seaton. He gave his daughter the best education available, and she was arguably the equal of the most intelligent people in the world at the time. Then he married her off to a dull South Carolina politician, isolating her in a place where she felt alien and abandoned.
