reviewed on + 35 more book reviews


When Chris Northon married Liysa, it seemed the beginning of "happily ever after" for both of them. But marriage seemed to bring out a dark side of her that few had seen. When Chris was found fatally shot at a remote Oregon campsite, Liysa cried domestic abuse and claimed that she had acted in self-defense when she killed her husband. This book tells the tale of the investigators who painstakingly worked to unravel the truth in this complicated case, as well as the numerous members of Chris's family, who wanted his name cleared and justice to be served. This is an amazing book for anyone who is a fan of Ann Rule or true crime in general.
