They had planned on the strike killing her, but they had to strike her 20 times before she was dead. The three went for a walk in the park and Hulme dropped a stone, causing the mother to bend over to pick it up, and her friend hit her own mother on the head with a half brick. Her heart always seemed to be in writing.Īt the age of 15, Juliet and her best friend plotted and killed her friend's mother. However, her mother had prepared her by teaching her how to read and write by the time she was four. She became ill again and during her bouts of illness through her teen years, she missed most of her childhood education. She did get better, and the family moved to a private island in New Zealand, where she describes her life as a Swiss family Robinson type existence. As a child Hulme was very ill with tuberculosis and ended up being fostered out by a family in the Caribbean. Such is the life of British author Anne Perry (aka Juliet Marion Hulme). Sometimes the personal story of a particular author seems almost as intriguing as the books they write.
