This book caught my eye and I downloaded the sample. I'm not sure why some reviews are negative; this book gets to the heart of the case, and doesn't sensationalize it. A background in rocket science is not necessary to understand that the dear young things pictured on the cover were lesbians with less than ideal family or social environments, and as the reader gets to know these imaginative and sociopathic girls through their own words, the question must be asked: How did these two find one another? What are the chances? Socially, this pair had nothing in common. But chance found them bonding in mutual strangeness. I was the victim of a major crime committed by my sister and her "best friend" who turned out to be her "wife" (I don't know if there really was a marriage, and I don't care). As I read this book I thought "Borderline Personality Disorder." That personality disorder is actually mentioned in speculation near the end of the book. Hulme/Parker lived in a fantasy world and were fascinated by evil Hollywood characters. They shared wild dreams of fame and artistic success, and claimed to see a vision of another realm of being. The author is to be commended for not giving much truck to the strange coincidence of a superstition about the regions where the teenagers claimed to see their vision and where they happily bashed in the head of Parker's mother, partly because they were about to be separated, and partly, in my opinion, for the thrill of it. Juliet Hulme went on to be a bestselling writer of crime novels under the name Anne Perry, and Parker has lived as a recluse. Both women appear to be lifelong lesbians, notwithstanding the more masculine Parker's dalliances with young men before she decided to commit matricide. In trauma therapy, I was told my sister and her "wife" were probably both Borderline Personalities. I said "How likely is that?" The therapist replied, "They find each other." (As I asked earlier...how do two similarly conscienceless people manage to gravitate to one another when at least one could have a plethora of friends? This book could contain an answer.) Hulme and Parker idolized fictional criminals, and joked about Hollywood-style "moider." And all their daydreaming and scheming was done in plain sight. Did sapphic frustration and aggression factor into the crazy murder plan? I truly wonder, having been mistreated by my deranged sister and her creepy Better Half after my mother died. They stole everything I ever owned. They did indeed live in a fantasy world where they planned to be rock stars like the Indigo Girls. They gambled at least three times a week and eventually my sister was fired from Microsoft for selling HP programs, meant for clients, on the black market. When the money was gone, the tender romance was gone. In the case of Parker, her cruel nature may have softened. Hulme/Perry is still delusional, and has grown old rich and acclaimed for her corny novels. The silver spoon that never left her mouth is coated in the dried blood of Parker's mother Honora(h). A bizarre painting by the adult Parker, who was from a lower-class family than the wealthy and pretty Hulme, suggests she remained in love with her friend after their arrest, trial, separation and imprisonment, and is baffling. Perhaps to understand hell one has to be a demon. I recommend the book partly because of the questions that are raised, subtly, towards the end. Which girl was top dog? Which one used the other the most? The future Anne Perry, a woman as full of s**t as a Christmas turkey (look her up on YouTube), cast quite a spell over her homely and violent soul mate, who is a mystery woman we can only know from her chilling teen diary entries. Did the girls even really believe they could get away with the killing, which they found wonderfully funny? I agree with the fellow who said, after speaking to each killer, he felt he'd been "in the presence of evil." If justice had been served both women would be behind bars right now. I skimmed the first 130 pages and after that I was held rapt. A reader should approach this book objectively and ask just what it tells us about sociopathy, isolation and angry frustration in people who hide their sexuality, and insight it provides into personality disorders, mutual delusions, and the unsung penchant in young women to be as cruel and as violent as young men. You don't have to see a sympathetic, glorified hit movie to ponder this ultimately unfathomable and tragic true story.
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.
