Stephen, I have two books which I have found to be indispensable, "Digital Audio Signal Processing" by Udo Zölzer, and "DAFX: Digital Audio Effects" edited by Zölzer, with numerous authors.
They're my 'go-to' books when I need background and ideas on the subject, offering both conceptual and implementational info. Perhaps others on the list will have other books or sources they can recommend.
