John Marrs is a writer at the top of his game and <i>The Family Experiment </i>is his best yet. <b>Frighteningly plausible, gripping, dark, and so clever</b>, I raced through this original, high-concept thriller unable to put it down. A thought-provoking examination of what family means. Superb.
- Claire Douglas, bestselling author of <i>The Woman who Lied</i>,
It's so, so, good. This book deserves to be huge. It’s speculative fiction at its very best - original, dark and wickedly clever. I was <b>utterly captivated </b>by the way Marrs melded reality TV, AI and a terrifyingly plausible future. He's created a terrifyingly plausible world. The world building, the characters, the reveals and the twists are so well done that this book is crying out for a Netflix adaptation.

<i>The Family Experiment</i> is an <b>eerie and darkly addictive</b> thriller that will have your mind whirling throughout.

Clever, compelling and terrifyingly plausible. A near future nightmare that grips from the first page and never let’s go. <i>The Marriage Act</i> 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 <i>A Sliver of Darkness</i> on <i>The Marriage Act</i>,
John’s creative, high-concept thrillers never fail to keep me furiously turning the pages and <i>The Marriage Act</i> 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!
