A New York Times Best Seller "A worthy retrospective that feels chilling in the manner of novelist Perry." -Kirkus Reviews 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.

If you loved Marlayna Glynn's best-selling memoir OVERLAY, her mother's story, MISS PERRIS VALLEY is a must-read Marlayna Glynn is in her comfort zone in the memoir genre. Her previous works covered her own challenging childhood in 1970s Las Vegas. In this effort, Marlayna takes on the subject of her own mother.

If you want a novel with a nice and tidy happy ending, this isn't for you. If you want a memoir that deals with issues of alcoholism, abuse, emotional isolation, and neglect head-on and in a meaningful way, this is a tremendous effort. There has not been a writer who has dealt so eloquently with such themes since Frank McCourt or possibly Jeannette Walls. -John LennonAvis knew one thing...
