What to expect

How do you catch a serial killer when no-one believes you’re telling the truth?

Wales, 1984.

Llanfair's most notorious busybody, Debbie-Marie Tunstall, has really gone and done it this time. Her snooping and merciless announcements of observations written in her Kajagoogoo notebook have gotten her into so much trouble that even her mum can't defend her. She has no choice but to run away.

And then finds herself the sole witness to a murder.

From a decades-old tragedy to the immediate danger of a potential serial killer on the loose, Debbie takes it upon herself to piece together the mysteries. But even if she uncovers the truth, will anyone believe the village’s biggest tell-tale?

Because in Llanfair, secrets are buried just beneath the surface, and what Debbie has inadvertently stumbled upon could unravel the very fabric of her community . . .

Critics Review

An engrossing read full of sympathetic and believable characters
Faith Martin, author of A Fatal Obsession
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 on The Final Hours of Muriel Hinchcliffe
It's dark and twisted, comic and toxic. I loved it!
Jenny Colgan on The Final Hours of Muriel Hinchcliffe
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 on The Final Hours of Muriel Hinchcliffe
A witty exploration of humanity . . .

A twisty tale of toxic friendships and even some sneaky sedatives added to Heinz tomato soup.
