It's dark and twisted, comic and toxic. I loved it! -- Jenny Colgan, author of <i>The Summer Skies</i> THE FINAL HOURS OF MURIEL HINCHCLIFFE M.B.E by Claire Parkin has serious vibes of ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’ and you KNOW that’s going to be a winner. A twisty tale of toxic friendships and even some sneaky sedatives added to Heinz tomato soup. * Julie Cohen * The characterisation is spot-on and the deeper we get into this beautifully drawn portrait of their intensely complicated, often horrific 'friendship', the more shocking and compelling the narrative is . . . Fabulous. * Daily Mail * I couldn’t get enough of this beautifully written, dark, twisted and often funny novel about a toxic friendship. It’s quirky and different in the best possible way and I loved it! -- Charlotte Levin
