To all the world, Anne Perry is a bestselling crime writer of over 50 books with a legion of fans and worldwide sales of more than 25 million copies. But in 1994, the hit film Heavenly Creatures revealed a dark secret: her true identity as Juliet Hume, the teenager who helped brutally murder her best friend’s mother. For the first time, Perry allows cameras past the gates of her Scottish Highland home and into her equally guarded private thoughts. Filmmaker Dana Linkiewicz captures the routines of the writer and her fiercely loyal staff of three as they craft her murderous thrillers. But as tense conversations move ever closer to “the thing that happened,” a remarkable confession of the burdens of guilt unfolds. Anne Perry - Interiors is a thoroughly fascinating portrait of an artist haunted by an inescapable past. - Myrocia Watamaniuk
