Helltown

I am a lover of true crime and used to watch the ID Channel every day. I started reading true crime novels and found I enjoy it more than watching TV.

Serial killers have always fascinated me. I know there are a lot I haven't heard of and Tony Costa is one I know little to nothing about. If you enjoy true crime and serial killers you NEED this one.

It flows and reads like fiction. Really captivating and immersive writing. You get Tony's POV (which is freakish and mind-boggling) AND during this time Kurt Vonnegut was struggling with his writing career and we get to see into his world. We also get snippets into Norman Mailer's realm of craziness which is just wow LOL. I really enjoyed the differing POVs and how the vastly different worlds, collided. You'll have to read to see what I mean.

Tony Costa is one sick puppy and again shows just how “normal” someone may seem but on the inside? A whole other twisted and mangled up world and sense of being. Whew....Horror books and movies don't hold a candle to this type of evil.

This may be a 400+ page book, but it definitely doesn't read like one. Go...grab...this! I sincerely appreciate Sourcebooks and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
