Depends on what you want to know. Unfortunately there are no detailed overview of the whole complex available in a single article or book. You will have to look up a lot of separate articles. Are you interested in any particular species or geographical areas? If you let me know I might be able to help you with a few references.
There are a book about the whole Trimeresurus-complex in the making (ie not only Trimeresurus but also related genera like Ermia, Ovophis, Protobothrops etc). It is being written by Gernot Vogel and Patrick David and as I understand it it will contain descriptions and extensive data on every species. Not sure exactly when it will be published though.
Here's a few of the more recent articles which deals with more than just a couple of the species. If you can get hold of them you'll find a lot of references in them which might be of further help to you.
