reza aslan's shia- his book Understanding Islam doesn't stint in that direction. I remember checking out a few books from the library relevant thanks to his bibliography.

That he devotes as much time and space to Shiites as he does to Sunnis so that both similarities and (major) differences are made clear. There's no 'inadequate supply' of information concerning Shia Islam, in other words.
Some of the books I read then-
Vali Nasr's The Shia Revival
Stephen Scwartz's The Two Faces of Islam
David Levering Lewis' God's Crucible (Islam and the Making of Europe, 570-1215)
Rogerson's The Heirs of Muhammad
Aslan's No God but God....

From a Christian perspective it's interesting that the Protestant sensibility comes first in Islam, the Catholic sensibility (Shia) though hot on its heels, second.
