Muriel, a former bestselling romantic novelist, and Ruth, a journalist, are high-quality pals. Inseparable because they were little, they’ve shared the whole lot; unable to be without every other, even after the most vicious of fights.
Now destiny has left them residing collectively in a North London domestic, with Ruth caring for Muriel in her deteriorating health, playing Scrabble, arguing and making up, passing the times in monotony, ignoring the scars of their relationship. Then one afternoon, Muriel makes a shocking and sinister announcement, sending Ruth’s global into chaos. Only one aspect is certain. Life, as she is aware of it, will in no way be the same once more. . .
The Final Hours of Muriel Hinchcliffe M.B.E is the deliciously darkish debut novel from Claire Parkin. An intensely gripping tale of toxic friendship, jealousy and revenge, it’s miles perfect for lovers of A Tidy Ending and Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.
