Items related to So Brilliantly Clever: Parker, Hulme and the Murder...
On June 22, 1954, teenage friends Juliet Hulme 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; Honora Parker lay, savagely murdered, in a sea of blood on a lonely track. With Parker and Hulme quickly arrested, the story made shock headlines around the world. This mesmerizing book offers a brilliant account of the crime and ensuing trial and shares dramatic revelations about the fates of Juliet Hulme (whose pen name is Anne Perry, the bestselling murder-mystery writer) and Pauline Parker 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.

Review:
Graham psychoanalyzes Parker and Hulme from afar but does so tastefully and insightfully. Matricide is a rare crime. As a result, it has not been written about much in the popular literature, a gap Graham fills admirably. A worthy retrospective that feels chilling in the manner of novelist Perry. --Kirkus Reviews
. . . A readable and eye--opening story of 1950s Christchurch and the complicated family dynamics that produced one of New Zealand's most famous murder cases. --Library Journal
