Free (nook/Kindle) The Evil Friendship by Vin Packer [Vintage Lesbian Crime Thriller]
The Evil Friendship by Vin Packer, alias of award-winning YA author Marijane Meaker, is a vintage lesbian pulp crime thriller which is based in part on the Parker-Hulme murder case (which eventually produced a rather well-known murder mystery author who has apparently taken the "write what you know" maxim to heart), originally published in 1958 by Gold Medal as #797 in their pulp line, and now re-published and made free courtesy of Adams Media's Prologue Books imprint.
This is, of course, one of the 134 or so Prologue titles I bought during the 99 cent sale on them at Amazon a couple of months back. Only 128 to go! Currently free @ B&N and Amazon UK (likely to drop in the main store). Description The moment of truth . . . Mary Drew knelt down on the rug. She leaned forward, her mouth within an inch of Martha’s. “l love you,” she said. “I’ve loved you from the very moment we met. But I won’t kiss you. I’m so close my lips are almost on yours, but I won’t kiss you.” Martha looked deeply into the other girl’s eyes for a very long time. “l love you, too,” she said. Then hungrily they fed on each others lips. Martha grasped Mary Drew’s hand. “Love me, will you? Not just kisses. Not any more.” |

She also wrote YA novels as M.E. Kerr--I remember really liking those as a teen.

Not sure about this book, but I can highly recommend the movie Heavenly Creatures, which is Peter Jackson's take on the Parker-Hulme murder.
