[T]o care for any person or issue enough to sacrifice greatly for it was the surest sign of being wholly alive. What a waste of the essence of a man that he should never give enough of himself to any cause, that he should always hear that passive, cowardly voice uppermost which counts the cost and puts caution first. One would grow old and die with the power of one’s soul untested.

Was scrolling on Pinterest at like 2AM today when a pin about Peter Jackson came up which mentioned the movie Heavely Creatures.

This led me to spend an hour researching and finding out about Anne Perry, who was a detective fiction author who is also one of the girls the movie is based on. She and her friend committed MURDER at 15 and 16 and then spent 5 years in jail and then just moved on with their lives??

After it was discovered that Anne Perry was previously Juliet Hulme of the 1954 Parker-Hulme murder case, she did an interview where she said she "was guilty, but she did her time." Then, I just continued being a successful author until her death in 2022?!?!.

‘So Brilliantly Clever’ By Peter Graham has just made me fall so deeply in love with Hilda Hulme/Perry. Heavenly Creatures was an amazing movie but I would love other dramatization of the case focused on the Hulmes. They’re one of the most interesting families I’ve ever come across, every member is so memorable and compelling and fucked up. Apart from Jonty but he was like 9 when the Hulmes were famous and by the time he was old enough they were out of the spotlight so no one really knows anything about him.

Anne Perry is an accomplished mystery writer with more than forty novels to her name, including the Thomas Pitt series, the Daniel Pitt series, the William Monk series, and more. Many of her novels take place around World War I.

She’s also a convicted murderer.

A friend from college - who is also a librarian - told me this while I was reading Death with a Double Edge, the fourth of her Daniel Pitt series. And thereby hangs a tale...

He opened his eyes and saw nothing but a pale greyness above him, uniform, like a winter sky, threatening and heavy. He blinked and looked again. He was lying flat on his back; the greyness was a ceiling, dirty with the grime and trapped fumes of years.

The Parker-Hulme case is my favorite True Crime story of all time. Probably because it's chillingly relatable.

Two mentally ill/depressed and isolated girls, one exceedingly neglected, have an obsessive (and speculatively homo-erotic/romantic) friendship wherein they get too locked in a fantasy world. They create their own religion and write letters to each other from the POV of their characters. They even went by different names. When their parents plan to separate them, the girls kill one of their mothers.

It's kind of one of those; "thaaaaaat might’ve been a possible timeline for me if Kirra/Apollo had a few more ounces of control of our system" vibes.

They also talked about "the fourth world" like K/A and I talked about "The other plane." 😬

Oh, and one ends up as a famous mystery writer.

Go figure.

Books and Things

I can’t sleep yet, so I have a story to share from my recent bookstore visit. While browsing and entertaining myself, waiting for Mint to finish a haircut, I found a few gems I’d like to read. I got pictures of them, too; they had some lovely hardcovers. What I found was the following; Louise Pennys – The Beautiful Mystery J.D Robb – Payback in Death Christopher De Hamel – The…

A Christmas Vanishing by Anne Perry

Dear Fellow Readers, I know, I know… A Christmas book? Why am I reviewing a Christmas book? It just so happens that this book comes out today so you can blame the gods of publishing for having a Christmas book out so early. I took this book for a reason. I have never read Anne Perry before. She was a prolific writer. She has two series to her credit that were set in Victorian England, plus two…
