Summary
The inspiration for the five-part Amazon Original docuseries Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer
This updated, expanded edition of The Phantom Prince, Elizabeth Kendall’s 1981 memoir detailing her six-year relationship with serial killer Ted Bundy, includes a new introduction and a new afterword by the author and a startling new chapter from the author’s daughter, Molly, who has not previously shared her story.
Bundy is one of the most notorious serial killers in American history and one of the most publicized to this day. However, very rarely do we hear from the women he left behind - the ones forgotten as mere footnotes in this tragedy.
The Phantom Prince chronicles Elizabeth Kendall’s intimate relationship with Ted Bundy and its eventual unraveling. As much as has been written about Bundy, it’s remarkable to hear the perspective of people who shared their daily lives with him for years. This gripping account presents a remarkable examination of a charismatic personality that masked unimaginable darkness.

Excellent story and terrifying at the same time
I felt great compassion for Liz and Molly as they had the terrible misfortune to have a cunning and highly dangerous man in their lives without truly knowing at the time what a monster he was when the shadows fell. I wish them both happiness in the remainder of their lives. Their story reminds us all that we live amongst people who do not wish to follow the norms and for whom life is all about their needs at the cost of the innocent.

Wow
This book was so interesting and kept me gripped the whole time, listened to it all in almost a day! While at work. But getting to see it from the perspective of someone that loved him is great because people don’t often talk about how the family of the murderer is actually doing and how it affects them, hope you burn in hell for like ever ted

Unique Insight
I thought I had heard everything Bundy related but this book is just as gripping as The Stranger Beside Me by Anne Rule and had detail which I had not heard before. It makes you realise just how many victims Ted Bundy actually accumulated during his murderous rampage. Anyone close to Bundy became either an innocent ,murdered young girl/lady , a pawn to help cover up,/hide or facilitate his evil acts or a family member or friend crippled by the grief and loss his actions caused. Just like a domino effect, the damage caused is wide and ongoing. The updates are a much welcomed addition and the daughters part at the end is one of the most shocking and creepiest yet. I wish the author and her daughter as much peace and happiness as possible in the future. Do I understand Bundy any more after reading this? No, perhaps because people like Ted are so different to the rest of us, we never will. However , it's an interesting read/listen nonetheless to either further cement our fascination with people capable of such evil or for us to try to understand as much as we possibly can . The book also shows just how easily duped the rest of society is to such a man for how can you begin to understand someones actions that are so foreign to your own? The book proves to me, the goodness of the author , her strength of character and ultimately highlights the need for us all to trust our "gut" for she was right all along. Someone the polar opposite to Ted would try to rationalise and make sense of his behaviour especially if you are in love with the other parts of them. As usual, failings with the police, not before portrayed in movie/tv adaptations were a huge reason why he was not apprehended sooner. May have been even longer if it was not for her initial persistence. Well worth a listen! Especially for TC rubberneckers like myself.

Good story, hard to get through at some points.
as stated by Liz herself at the end of the book, she was still in love with ted at the time of writing... and this comes across in every sentence she describes of him. it's almost fawning at some points and it is hard to listen to, but at the same time it is easy to see why she was so conflicted thinking he was guilty at one moment and innocent in another. he had her so confused and wrapped tightly around her finger. Overall a very compelling story.

Essential Bundy Reading
Wow. A powerful revised edition, particularly Liz and Molly’s updates in their own voices at the end.
Much respect due to this unique perspective on the evil that was Bundy.
