The people who call End of the Line need hope. They need reassurance that life is worth living. But some are unlucky enough to get through to Laura. Laura doesn’t want them to hope. She wants them to die.

Laura hasn’t had it she’s survived sickness and a difficult marriage only to find herself heading for forty, unsettled and angry. She doesn’t love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it.

But now someone’s on to her—Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger. Who was this man, and why did they choose to die together?

The sinister truth is within Ryan’s grasp, but he has no idea of the desperate lengths Laura will go to…

John Marrs

John Marrs is the British author whose books grip readers by the throat and never let go. Known for his psychological thrillers and speculative fiction, he explores the unpredictable intersection of technology, ethics, and the human psyche. His narratives are populated by flawed characters navigating the dangerous waters of modern life, with the technology meant to serve us often becoming our greatest adversary.

Before finding his voice as a novelist, Marrs spent over two decades as a freelance journalist, writing for prominent publications like The Guardian, Empire, and HuffPost. This experience in storytelling—where every word counts and every detail matters—shaped his tight, suspenseful prose that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. His debut novel, When You Disappeared (originally The Wronged Sons), laid the foundation for his later work, setting the stage for the twist-filled narratives that have become his signature.

However, it was The One, a speculative thriller about a DNA test that promises to match you with your perfect partner, that truly catapulted him into the spotlight. This book not only became a #1 bestseller but also sparked the imagination of viewers worldwide with its Netflix adaptation. Marrs' exploration of love, fate, and the potentially dangerous outcomes of technology is a recurring theme in his works, including The Passengers, What Lies Between Us, and The Minders. Each novel is a deep dive into human desires and the shadows lurking behind them.

Marrs’ books have been translated into numerous languages, reaching an international audience captivated by his clever plots and complex characters. His work is not just about keeping you guessing—it’s about challenging you to think, to question what’s real, and to ponder how much control we truly have over our own lives.

His novel, You Killed Me First, promises to continue his tradition of exploring the darker side of human nature with a fresh, captivating perspective. Marrs' books are a testament to his ability to blend tension, character-driven narratives, and thought-provoking questions about the future of humanity. Whether you’re new to his work or a longtime fan, one thing is clear: John Marrs knows how to tell a story that stays with you long after the final page is turned.
