Ebook About On June 22, 1954, teenage friends Juliet Hulme—better known as bestselling mystery writer Anne Perry—and Pauline Parker went for a walk in a New Zealand park with Pauline’s mother, Honora. Half an hour later, the girls returned alone, claiming that Pauline’s mother had had an accident. But when Honora Parker was found in a pool of blood with the brick used to bludgeon her to death close at hand, Juliet and Pauline were quickly arrested, and later confessed to the killing. Their motive? A plan to escape to the United States to become writers, and Honora’s determination to keep them apart. Their incredible story made shocking headlines around the world and would provide the subject for Peter Jackson’s Academy Award–nominated film, Heavenly Creatures. A sensational trial followed, with speculations about the nature of the girls’ relationship and possible insanity playing a key role. Among other things, Parker and Hulme were suspected of lesbianism, which was widely considered to be a mental illness at the time. This mesmerizing book offers a brilliant account of the crime and ensuing trial and shares dramatic revelations about the fates of the young women after their release from prison. With penetrating insight, this thorough analysis applies modern psychology to analyze the shocking murder that remains one of the most interesting cases of all time.Book Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century Review :
I had hoped to find the definitive account of this famous case of the so-called "Heavenly Creatures." I'm not entirely sure this is it, though Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century is exhaustive and leaves little to the imagination. The writing is very regional, at times somewhat stilted, and many of the author's Britishisms will land with a thud at the feet of readers from other areas of the world, or soar completely overhead. Some of the background material, such as bios of minor characters and descriptions of places, seems unnecessarily detailed and slows down the narrative. The book, however, is far from poorly written, and the author is a great deal more successful in describing the crime itself and the events and thoughts leading up to it. The picture painted of the two teenage killers is quite chilling and often surprising--particularly the icy calculation that led to the murder of Pauline Parker's mother. The motive for the crime, however twisted, is pretty clearly delineated and doesn't leave the reader wanting. And the case is so fascinating--and almost unfathomable in its more innocent time and place--it should keep you reading up to that point in the narrative. Also, the author's post-trial analysis of Juliet's and Pauline's characters is astute and avoids sensationalism. He rightly takes the adult Juliet (who now calls herself Anne Perry) to task for her convenient self-forgiveness and revisionism in painting herself as an unwitting child who was coerced by fear and guilt to take part in the crime, but he does so evenhandedly. Perry's comment when asked if she ever thinks about the woman she killed may tell the true story of her degree of contrition: "No. She was somebody I barely knew." Less is known about the adult Pauline, but her marginalizing herself on the fringes of a society she cannot face seems to at least suggest remorse.One more caveat: for a book named Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century, a much clearer picture is painted of the teenage Pauline than her partner in crime, Juliet Hulme (Perry). I get it; Perry is now a fairly well-known mystery writer. A book called Pauline Parker and the Murder of the Century would have sold fewer copies. And Juliet's personal diary, a potentially valuable resource to the author, had been (wisely) destroyed by her family. To be fair, this wasn't the author's original title; the book was originally released under the more measured title, So Brilliantly Clever: Parker, Hulme and the Murder that Shocked the World, and recently repackaged by the publishers for maximum sales punch. A good account of a very intriguing crime, despite it's problems, and a worthwhile read once you get past the slow parts. Three and a half stars, perhaps four stars for the latter half of the book. I met Anne Perry many years ago at a book signing and found her to be rather odd. When the movie "Heavenly Creatures" came out and she was outed as Juliet Hulme, who as a teenager helped her friend Pauline Parker brutally murder her mother, I was fascinated. Perry writes two historical mystery series that I enjoy whose plots most often revolve around questions of morality and the excuses people make to themselves to justify their actions. When "The Search for Anne Perry" came out (written with Perry's cooperation, apparently), I was excited to read it but disappointed in its coverage of the murder and trial and lack of explanation for how such an event could have ever happened. However, "Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century" looks closely at the murder, the all-consuming friendship between Juliet and Pauline, the psychological bond between them, how class difference affected the girls, and how those ingredients and many more boiled over into the teenagers' decision to murder Pauline's mother. Graham interviewed many of those who'd been involved in the crime investigation and trial and produces a strong book that, for me, finally answered many of those questions I've wondered about Anne Perry since meeting her decades ago.
