Anne Perry, the famous British Crime novelist, died last week at age 84 after a long and successful career as a best-selling crime writer. Anne Perry's biographer, Dr. Joanne Drayton, tells Sunday Morning that in the backdrop of the murder of Honorah Parker by her daughter Pauline and her friend Juliet, Hulme was a lonely teenager who had been very sick as a child but found the support she needed in Pauline Parker. Perry became "the closest thing to a machine" writing more than 100 crime novels, all while maintaining her new Identity of Juliette Hume. The pair spent five years in jail before being released, with the condition being that Hulme change her identity and leave the country. Perry's identity was revealed to the journalist on the eve of the release of Heavenly Creatures, which was based on the true story of the murder.
