"The king of near-future what-ifs is back with a smart and chilling
page-turner. Twisty, unsettling, scarily believable and thought
provoking, this is his best yet." --Ellery Lloyd, author of The
Club
"A scarily plausible alternative future with a truly twisted
narrative. Tensely plotted and terrifyingly imagined." --Harriet
Tyce, bestselling author of Blood Orange
"Clever, compelling and terrifyingly plausible. A near future
nightmare that grips from the first page and never lets go. THE
MARRIAGE ACT is a brilliant examination of relationships and the
power we let others have over us. And talk about a page-turner.
This one will leave you with paper cuts!" --C. J. Tudor, author of
The Chalk Man
"An absolute blinder of a book... Another gripping page-turner."
--Claire Allan, author of The Liar's Daughter
"John Marrs's creative, high-concept thrillers never fail to keep
me furiously turning the pages and The Marriage Act is no
exception. Pacy and packed full of tension, the book kept me
constantly guessing as the thought-provoking plot about marriage
and everything that comes with it unfolded in the most sinister of
ways...dark, immersive speculative fiction at it's very
best!"--Sarah Pearse, author of The Retreat and The Sanatorium
"A smart, gripping and scarily believable story from the master of
the speculative thriller."--TM Logan, author of The Curfew and The
Holiday
"John Marrs can do no wrong. Like Huxley and Orwell before him,
Marrs manages to take real life sanctities and twist them into
something terrifyingly plausible. All hail the master of the
speculative thriller!"--Jack Jordan, author of Sunday Times
bestseller Do No Harm
"Clever, original, and impossible to put down. The Marriage Act had
me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. John Marrs is a
master of suspense." --Jeneva Rose, international bestselling
author of The Perfect Marriage "[A] smart Orwellian thriller set in
a near-future U.K. where the financial impact of several pandemics
has led to drastic measures... Marrs builds on techno-dystopian
ideas explored in prior books to craft a scarily plausible world.
Readers will be riveted."--Publishers Weekly "The characters (both
central and supporting) are vividly drawn, and their stories
uniquely captivating. Marrs transforms a slightly out-there premise
into a gripping, completely believable story full of surprises that
prompt reflection. Absolutely compelling."--Booklist
