  • Best known for her historical novels, Anne Perry has written numerous works that explore the lives of people from different eras--from Victorian England, in her Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries, and eighteenth-century revolutionary Paris, in The One Thing More, to the ancient world in her epic Tathea novels. But whatever epoch Perry depicts, her novels always portray richly drawn characters who face obstacles entirely recognizable to today's reader. Watch Perry explain why in this video, filmed from her home in Scotland.

    For those that don’t know, this woman who is now a successful writer called Anne Perry, was once a young girl living in New Zealand called Juliet Hulme. In 1954 ages 15, she and her best friend Pauline Parker brutally murdered Pauline’s mother in Victoria Park, Christchurch. The fact that she is now a successful murder mystery writer is absolutely shocking. She may have redeemed herself, but she’s still a murderer, and the act of taking a life should never be forgiven...

    Anne Perry's real name is Juliet Hulme in 1953 she and another girl named Pauline Parker murdered Pauline's mother because they had a intense realtionship and they were both delusional and they lived in a fantasy world and didn't want people to know what was going on! Both girls were arrested and taken to seprate prisons and Juliet Hulme left NZ to join her mother overseas and she lives in Scotland as a writer and she doesn't talk about the past and Pauline Parker changed her name and she is recluse in London, England and it was written that these girls were never to see each other again! They did a movie called Heavenly Creatures in 1994 which starred Kate Winslet and they are also on a TV show called Deadly Women ID that murder still haunts Christchurch NZ today!

      Except she and her friend only got a few years. Anne is making millions from her books and had made even more money because people learned about her past. She was rewarded for murdering a person with only a few years of condemnation.
      When she was found out her first thought was “oh no my career is over and I’m going to become a hermit.” She wasn’t concerned with being deceitful to her loved ones and fans, but that she would lose her money.

    She did a horrendous crime at the age of 15 but spent the rest of her life as a law abiding citizen. She speaks and writes with compassion and humour. I dont know her inner life, no one does. The fact that everyone is so quick to demonise her without knowing what she has paid for her crimes speaks volumes about them. Surely we want people to turn their lives around, rather than continue as a criminal! When she does speak about it in other interviews she says the minimum, she doesn’t gush or try to justify what she did. I think she knows full well the weight of what she did. You lot are like a bloomin lynch mob, judge first, ask questions later. If someone murdered my family, nothing would make ammends but at the very least I'd want their actions to be a catalyst for change in their life, for them to carry that burden and turn themselves around. I would hope whatever good could come out of it would.

      @Universal wisdom Follower of Christ I never used it as an excuse, so I do not know why you would spit that fallacy. Moreover, do I believe that she is a sociopath? Maybe. Let’s just say her alleles made the chance of her becoming a sociopath in early childhood greater, then the emotional neglect caused by her mother, as well as the trauma of WW2, may have caused it. So if she is a sociopath, it would be partially her mother’s fault. However, she should not have murdered Honora.
