(20,729 posts)Born Juliet Marion Hulme in Blackheath, London....Together with her school friend Pauline Parker, Hulme (age 15 at the time) murdered Parker's mother, Honora Rieper in June 1954....The two teenage girls, who had created a rich fantasy life together populated with famous actors... did not want to be separated. They had hoped to go to England with Hulme's father after the divorce...
On 22 June 1954, the girls took Honora Rieper for a walk in Victoria Park... On an isolated path Hulme dropped an ornamental stone so that Ms. Rieper would lean over to retrieve it. At that point, Parker had planned to hit her mother with half a brick wrapped in a stocking. The girls presumed that would kill her; instead, it took 45 frenzied blows from both girls...
After being released from prison, Hulme returned to England and became a flight attendant...Hulme took the name Anne Perry... Her first novel, The Cater Street Hangman, was published under this name in 1979....As of 2003 she had published 47 novels, and several collections of short stories. Her story "Heroes", which first appeared in the 1999 anthology Murder and Obsession, edited by Otto Penzler, won the 2001 Edgar Award for Best Short Story.
