"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.
