Sad, but brilliant how she uses the fact of his being a killer to highlight how truly awful her mother is.

Before picking this book up, I had no idea who Tony Costa was. Now I do, and he was pretty disturbing.

This book was a mix of memoir and true crime. The memoir part (the whole babysitter aspect) was boring and mostly pointless, however the true crime chapters had my attention. This dude was very similar to ol Teddy Bundy…

This book grabbed me from the beginning and did not let go. It was a newer story to me so it kept me hanging on. I enjoyed the back and forth of the two stories and respected the facts of the story starting with Tony’s childhood and Liza’s childhood as well. I also respected at the start of the book it was stated that these are the memories of Liza and the facts according to multiple sources on Tony. I enjoyed the epilogue and how they did follow up research on some of he missing women. I enjoyed the book the best you can enjoy a book about a serial killer.
