Собрание сочинений [98 книг] Год выпуска: 1979 - 2023 Автор: Anne Perry / Энн Перри Категория: Historical murder mysteries and detective fiction Язык курса: Английский Формат: EPUB Описание: Энн Перри (англ. Anne Perry, урождённая Джульет Мэрион Хьюм, англ. Juliet Marion Hulme; род. 29 октября 1938, Лондон, Великобритания) — британская писательница, дебютировавшая в 1979 году. В возрасте 16 лет она совершила убийство матери своей подруги, за что была приговорена к тюремному заключению. После освобождения Хьюм сменила имя и занялась писательской деятельностью.
Джульет Мэрион Хьюм родилась в районе Лондона Блэкхит. Её отцом был доктор Генри Хьюм. Ещё в детстве у Джульет был диагностирован туберкулёз. Из-за этого она часто меняла место жительства, надеясь, что климат Вест-Индии и ЮАР поправит её здоровье. В возрасте 13 лет Джульет переехала вместе со своей семьёй в город Крайстчерч, Новая Зеландия.
В Крайстчерче Хьюм поступила в школу для девочек. Там она познакомилась с Полин Паркер. Обе они были освобождены от занятий спортом по состоянию здоровья и увлекались чтением фэнтези. В скором времени девушки сдружились.
В начале 1954 года мать Хьюм объявила дочери, что она решила развестись с мужем и отправить Джульет обратно в ЮАР с тёткой. Паркер решила поехать с подругой, но её мать Хонора Рипер отказала дочери. Вместе подростки спланировали убийство.
22 июня 1954 года они пошли втроём в парк. Там Джульет и Полин подложили Рипер на дорогу красивый камень. Когда она наклонилась, чтобы поднять его, подруги нанесли женщине множество ударов по голове кирпичом, завёрнутым в чулок. По словам патологоанатома Колина Пирсона, на теле было обнаружено 45 повреждений.
История Хьюм и Паркер получила широкий резонанс во всём мире. Они обе предстали перед судом. Как несовершеннолетние, они не могли быть приговорены к смертной казни и получили тюремные заключения, а также запрет на личное общение после освобождения.
После освобождения в 1959 году Хьюм сменила имя на Энн Перри, взяв себе вымышленное имя и фамилию отчима. Какое-то время она прожила в США, где в 1968 году присоединилась к Церкви Иисуса Христа Святых последних дней. Позже она вернулась в Великобританию.

В 1979 году Перри опубликовала свой первый роман «Призрак с Кейтер-стрит». С тех пор писательница выпустила около 90 произведений, большинство из них в жанре исторического детектива. Её рассказ Heroes выиграл Edgar Award for Best Short Story. Её книги имели огромную популярность, были бестселлерами Нью-Йорк таймс, а также в ряде зарубежных стран (Франции, Германии, Канаде, …). Было продано более 20 миллионов экземпляров её книг. Издание The Times поместило её в список "100 Masters of Crime" и в 2015 году она была получила премию Premio de Honor Aragón Negro.
Свою настоящую личность она раскрыла в 1994 году после выхода в свет фильма Heavenly Creatures (starring Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey), в котором были показаны события убийства сорокалетней давности.
Перри проживает в Шотландии.
В 2009 году вышел посвященный ей документальный фильм Anne Perry Interiors.

Добавил Triple Jeopardy (Daniel Pitt 02, 2019) : Young lawyer Daniel Pitt must defend a British diplomat accused of a theft that may cover up a deadly crime in this riveting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Twenty-one Days. Daniel Pitt, along with his parents, Charlotte and Thomas, is delighted that his sister, Jemima, and her family have returned to London from the States for a visit. But the Pitts soon learn of a harrowing incident: In Washington, D.C., one of Jemima’s good friends has been assaulted and her treasured necklace stolen. The perpetrator appears to be a man named Philip Sidney, a British diplomat stationed in America’s capital who, in a cowardly move, has fled to London, claiming diplomatic immunity. But that claim doesn’t cover his other crimes. . . .
When Sidney winds up in court on a separate charge of embezzlement, it falls to Daniel to defend him. Daniel plans to provide only a competent enough defense to avoid a mistrial, allowing the prosecution to put his client away. But when word travels across the pond that an employee of the British embassy in Washington has been found dead, Daniel grows suspicious about Sidney’s alleged crimes and puts on his detective hat to search for evidence in what has blown up into an international affair.
As the embezzlement scandal heats up, Daniel takes his questions to intrepid scientist Miriam fford Croft, who brilliantly uses the most up-to-date technologies to follow an entirely new path of investigation. Daniel and Miriam travel to the Channel Islands to chase a fresh lead, and what began with a stolen necklace turns out to have implications in three far greater crimes—a triple jeopardy, including possible murder. Advance praise for Triple Jeopardy
“Readers may find themselves smitten with Daniel and with the dauntless Miriam fforde Croft, whose relationship with Daniel deepens in this episode. . . . Primarily identified for her authentic period sets and well-rendered characters, Perry writes in what she has called the ‘Put Your Heart on the Page’ method, with the focus placed squarely on what happens to people under the pressure of investigation. This book is an excellent example of her craft.”—Booklist
“Veteran Perry dials back the period detail and the updates on the lives of the continuing characters to focus on one of her most teasing mysteries, this time with a courtroom finale that may be her strongest ever.”—Kirkus Reviews
Добавил антологию Odd Partners (2019) : Unlikely pairs join forces to crack a slew of intriguing cases in an anthology edited by New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry, featuring original stories by Jacqueline Winspear, Jeffery Deaver, Charles Todd, and many more, including Perry herself. Throughout the annals of fiction, there have been many celebrated detective teams: Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Nick and Nora Charles. Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings. Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. The latter were the creation of beloved mystery writer Anne Perry, the editor of Odd Partners. With this collection, Perry has enlisted some of today's best mystery writers to craft all-new stories about unlikely couples who join forces--sometimes unwillingly--to solve a mystery. From Perry's own entry, in which an English sergeant and his German counterpart set out to find a missing soldier during WWI, to William Kent Krueger's story of a fly-fisherman and a gray wolf in the Minnesota woods trying to protect their land from a brash billionaire, to Robert Dugoni's psychological tale of an airplane passenger who wakes up unsure of who he is and must enlist his fellow passengers to help him remember, each mystery deals in the complexities of human (and animal) interactions. The collection features stories by New York Times bestselling authors Ace Atkins, Allison Brennan, and Robert Dugoni, as well as Edgar Award winner Joe R. Lansdale and selected members of Mystery Writers of America. With each author's signature brand of suspense, these stories give new meaning to the word "teamwork." +++++++++ Извиняюсь, но добавил еще Death in Focus (Elena Standish novel, 2019). Перекачайте торрент, плиз. In the start of an all-new mystery series set in pre–World War II Europe, an intrepid young photographer carries her dead lover’s final, world-shattering message into the heart of Berlin as Hitler ascends to power.
On vacation from London on the beautiful Italian coast, twenty-eight-year-old Elena Standish and her older sister, Margot, have finally been able to move on from the lasting trauma of the Great War, in which the newly married Margot lost her husband and the sisters their beloved brother. Touring with her camera in hand, Elena has found new inspiration in the striking Italian landscape, and she’s met an equally striking man named Ian. When Ian has to leave unexpectedly, Elena—usually the more practical of the sisters—finds she’s not ready to part from him, and the two share a spontaneous train trip home to England. But a shocking sequence of events disrupts their itinerary, forcing Elena to personally deliver a message to Berlin on Ian’s behalf, one that could change the fate of Europe.
Back home, Elena’s diplomat father and her secretive grandfather—once head of MI6, unbeknownst to his family—are involved in their own international machinations. Worried when Elena still hasn’t returned from Italy, her grandfather starts to connect the dots between her change in plans and an incident in Berlin, where Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich are on the rise. It seems the message Elena delivered has forced her into a dangerous predicament, and her grandfather’s old contacts from MI6 may be the only people who can get her out alive—if Elena can tell the difference between her allies and her enemies.
New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry merges family secrets with suspense on the world stage, as darkness bubbles under the surface of a Europe on the brink of change. In these complicated times, Elena emerges as a strong new heroine who learns quickly that when nothing is certain, she can rely only on herself.
