An utterly addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist

The rules are there to keep their family safe. But what happens when they get broken…?

Fiona Fisher lives a quiet and contented existence. A former nurse who married Jason, the doctor of her dreams, she is now a mother to his two daughters and living in the sort of cosy village home she’d always wished for.

Life is pretty much perfect in every way. As long as they stick to their rules…

Everyone in bed by eight o’clock sharp.

No loud music, no news on the TV, no social media. The house phone for emergency use only.

Locks on every door. No leaving the house.

And absolutely no talking about the past.

But one day, someone starts breaking the rules…

This insanely twisty psychological thriller will have you gripped. Anyone who held their breath as they raced through The Housemaid, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train needs to drop everything and start listening!

I gave 4 stars rounded up from 3 1/2. It kept me interested and had a good twist that took me by surprise. The plot was just so unbelievable though.

Crazy story.

Well, I’m not sure how to explain this one, lol!

So many ups and downs, twists and turns, highs and lows, suspicion and transparency.

If you enjoy stories about doctors and patients who cross lines, I’d recommend checking this out.

If you enjoy thinking you’ve got it all figured out, then telling yourself “oh okay, NOW I know what’s going on!” and to change your mind a couple more times, then you would definitely want to check this out.

I certainly did not expect the ending and I greatly enjoyed this because of it!

Unpredictable plot!

wow! What a story!! Couldn't stop listening, takes a little bit to get going, but it's soooo good!

what a story

The Marriage Rules is a masterclass in wasted potential. The characters are flat, the plot is painfully predictable, and the constant repetition feels like filler to stretch a 45-minute story into a full-length novel. There’s no twist, no depth, and certainly no reward at the end. If you’re hoping for insight, entertainment, or even just decent storytelling—keep looking. Save your time, and a credit.

Repetitive, Ridiculous, and Regrettabable

It's hard to describe this book. It's made of nothing. It's boring. It starts nowhere and goes nowhere. None of the characters make sense, not even those who are supposed to make sense. 15 year old teeenagers depicted as 5 year olds who cannot look things up even when they have internet connection at all times. All the circumstances are just ridiculous. I feel the same way I feel after eating junk food that did not even taste good. Spent money, ingested 2000 calories, for what?

Just empty and quite silly story

I could not listen to this book.

Listening to nonstop mental abuse of a female spouse is troubling and not enjoyable.

Publisher's blurb should have stated this.

Narration was 10-star.

Nonstop Mental Abuse of Female Protagonist......
