The Final Hours of Muriel Hinchcliffe: A Delicious Story of Friendship Gone Sour, Jealousy and the Ultimate Revenge . . .

‘Fabulous’ – Daily Mail ‘Beautifully written, dark, twisted and often funny’ – Charlotte Levin ‘Dark and twisted, comic and toxic. I loved it!’ – Jenny Colgan ‘A witty exploration of humanity’ – People's Friend

Ruth and Muriel are best friends. And often, worst enemies.

Inseparable since they were little, Ruth and Muriel have shared everything.

Now in their seventies, fate has left them living together in a North London home, with Ruth caring for Muriel in her deteriorating health. They play Scrabble, argue and make up, and pass the days in monotony.

Until one afternoon, when Muriel makes an unexpected and sinister announcement:

‘In exactly seventy-two hours, I am going to die’.

The end might be in sight for Muriel, but that’s just the beginning of this story. Because these two old friends have seventy-six years of history between them – and more than one shocking secret . . .

A darkly comic novel about a lifelong (toxic) friendship and the very fine line between love and hate, The Final Hours of Muriel Hinchcliffe by Claire Parkin is perfect for fans of Joanna Cannon, Charlotte Levin and Jennie Godfrey.
