I have nothing to add, except the thought that Heavenly Creatures was a good movie.

It's Kate Winslet directed by Peter Jackson, based on the Parker-Hulme murder.

Yeah, that's a pretty well known story in mystery reader's circles.

Never been much of a mystery reader, so until I saw it linked I had no clue.

Yep, that one I knew (from Heavenly Creatures...), but she never was an author I was interested in.

Honestly had no clue (but I don't read those books anyway, so like Hobby Lobby it would be a boycot of something I never did anyway.)

Yeah, I just learned about this a couple months ago, and I feel absolutely filthy that I liked her Charlotte & Thomas Pitt novels.

I know. Like MZB the crossover between their work and their crime make it feel almost paticipatory to read their work (in a weird way).

I read and really liked a bunch of Anne Perry/ Juliet Hume mysteries. I remember when the truth came out; I was shocked. And I found myself saying "oh, that makes so much sense now that I know her history". I'm sort of inclined to give her a little more leeway; she was only 15. I believe people can change and grow. On the other hand they killed Pauline's mother. Brutally. They battered her to death with a brick. Orson Scott Card is an obnoxious blowhard, but as far as I know he's never hurt anyone!

I remember that the movies portrayal of the murder was REALLY brutal and kind of stuck in my head afterwards, they showed the mother making the most terrible sounds of pain as they kept bashing her head with the rock :( The whole case is really hard to understand too as apparently the Mother was never abusive, they only plotted to kill her because they got so wrapped on one another and the fantasy life they build up together that they didn't want their parents to separate them
