Heart Full of Lies - Ann Rule (CD)
Title: Title: Heart Full of Lies Author: Ann Rule Genre: General True Crime / Murder Format: CD, 5 CDs, 6 Hours (Abridged) Synopsis: Liysa and Chris Northon seemed the epitome of idyllic lovers when they married on a moonlit beach in Hawaii. Their friends admired the romantic couple: Chris - tall, athletic, handsome with a thatch of blond hair, a pilot for Hawaiian Airlines - and Liysa - attractive, charismatic, seductive, an acclaimed surf photographer, with a tanned, perfect body. Their son, Bjorn, looked just like his dad, and they were raising Liysa's son by a previous marriage. They had beautiful homes on the mainland and in Hawaii. But it wasn't long before Chris saw a side of Liysa that he hadn't glimpsed before. Nothing was quite enough for her - she wanted more money, more property, and a future that included fame as a Hollywood screenwriter. She complained to her closest friends that her husband was a heavy drinker who beat her. The marriage seemed to be unraveling, but Chris struggled to hold it together, afraid he'd be separated from Bjorn and from Liysa's son Papako. And then the worst happened. On a sunny morning in October 2000, Chris Northon lay dead in a sleeping bag at a campsite beside a pristine river, while his wife drove four hours to a friend's house, sobbing inconsolably. She appeared to have been beaten, and had a black eye and bruises on her knee. Was Chris's death a tragic accident or a deliberate homicide? Was Liysa involved? Questions arose that made Oregon State detectives suspicious, yet her family and friends stood staunchly by her, incredulous that anybody would ask such questions. Review: Library Journal A beautiful woman living in Hawaii with her two gorgeous sons and her loving pilot husband, Liysa Northon appeared to have everything: a career as a surf photographer and the beginnings of one as a writer. However, she revealed another version of her life: her husband, Chris, was abusive, an alcoholic, and a drug user. On a fall day in 2000, Northon drove to a friend's house and related how Chris had beaten her while they were on a camping trip with their younger son. She said that she fired a gun at him to keep him from following her. When police came to the campground they found Chris dead, encased in a sleeping bag, a shot having been fired with deadly accuracy into his head. Was this the case of an abused woman fighting back or a calculated murder? Through her exploration, noted crime writer Rule teaches us about Northon and her desire to control the lives of those around her and about Chris, who worked desperately to keep his marriage afloat. As listeners hear Blair Brown's excellent reading they will be fascinated by how the police and lawyers worked to discover what really happened.
