Shortlisted for the Goodreads Awards 2023, The Marriage Act is a dark, high-concept thriller set in the same world as John Marrs' bestselling novel The One. In this near-future dystopia, a right-wing government enforces the Sanctity of Marriage Act, which actively encourages marriage as the norm and punishes those who choose to remain single. Four couples are about to discover the impossible challenges of relationships when the government is monitoring every aspect of their personal lives, tracking every word, every minor disagreement, and using every tool in its arsenal to ensure everyone will love, honor, and obey. Praise for John Marrs: "One of the most exciting original thriller writers" - Simon Kernick, author of Good Cop Bad Cop "A page-turning and thought-provoking read" - Daily Mirror "A socially aware novel packed with thought-provoking questions" - SFX Magazine "Clever, compelling, and terrifyingly plausible. A near future nightmare that grips from the first page and never lets go" - C. J. Tudor, bestselling author of The Chalk Man "A smart, gripping, and scarily believable story from the master of the speculative thriller" - T.M. Logan, author of The Catch "Johns creative, high-concept thrillers never fail to keep me furiously turning the pages, and The Marriage Act is no exception. Dark, immersive speculative fiction at its very best!" - Sarah Pearse, au.
