Babysitter: My Summers with a Serial Killer
Babysitter: My Summers with a Serial Killer | Jennifer Jordan, Liza Rodman
5 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
Growing up on Cape Cod in the 1960s, Liza Rodman was a lonely little girl. During the summers, while her mother worked days in a local motel and danced most nights in the Provincetown bars, her babysitter — the kind, handsome handyman at the motel where her mother worked — took her and her sister on adventures in his truck. He bought them popsicles and together, they visited his "secret garden" in the Truro woods. To Liza, he was one of the few kind and understanding adults in her life. Everyone thought he was just a "great guy." But there was one thing she didn't know; their babysitter was a serial killer.

Told by two perspectives side by side is a very eye opening account of a neighborhood confidant and a neighborhood monster. I enjoyed viewing the world from little Liza‘s perspective during the time she spent her summers with a soon to be serial killer. I found her survival of being raised with her mother hopeful. I‘m astounded that is what I will take away from this book. Not the serial killer aspect. We never truly know someone..do we?

Mehso-so

When a true crime is written by a person who knew the individual but didn‘t know they were a serial killer, the nitty gritty is often missing IMO. Liza‘s chapters were good but didn‘t add much (not even of Costa), and I was more worried about her mother. Case information begins around chapter 45 out of 64 chapters and so I found myself completely lacking in any semblance of the victims and Costa.

It was interesting but I wanted more.

This was pretty good. I'll definitely have to look into the case now. I did prefer the crime POV over the author's story. Her side of things didn't add anything other than just to let the world know she knew a serial killer 🤷‍♀️
