Overview
Get lost in three gripping, standalone psychological thrillers from John Marrs, the internationally bestselling British author behind The One. This brand new paperback set brings together What Lies Between Us, Keep It in the Family, and Dead in the Water — twisty, character-driven stories about the secrets ordinary families keep hidden behind closed doors. Marrs pulls readers in with unreliable narrators, shocking reveals, and dark domestic settings, and this trio shows exactly why he has become one of the genre's most talked-about voices. Perfect for fans of dark, addictive suspense fiction who love a story that refuses to let go.
About the Books
These three novels are all standalone psychological thrillers — there is no shared timeline or continuing cast, so each book can be read in any order. What Lies Between Us centers on Nina and Maggie, a mother and daughter locked into a devastating cycle of dependency and control. Nina keeps Maggie confined to an attic room, and every quiet family dinner they share hides a darker history that the story slowly, unnervingly unravels. It won the International Thriller Writers Award for Best Paperback Original and was optioned for film by MGM. Keep It in the Family follows Mia and Finn, a young couple renovating a rundown house into their forever home. Their excitement turns to horror when Mia discovers a chilling message carved into a skirting board, leading them to uncover their new home's real-life murder history and a mystery that pulls Mia deeper into the past. The novel is well known among fans for its shocking Chapter 39 twist. Dead in the Water is Marrs's newest release, following Damon, a man who survives a near-drowning and finds his life flashing before his eyes in vivid detail, except for one memory of a boy he cannot place. Convinced the memory holds the key to his past, Damon becomes obsessed with recreating the brush with death that might finally let him remember the truth. Together, the three novels show Marrs's signature style: ordinary settings, close relationships, and slow-building dread that erupts into unforgettable twists.
