Thank you NetGalley for this advance reader copy in exchange for my free and honest review. What an amazing novel. This book truly hooked me from the start and did not disappoint in the least. Amazing characters and a storyline with valid and believable twist and turns page after page. An absolute delight to read and can’t wait to now read the other books by this author. A new favorite for me!

“No One Can Know” by Kate Alice Marshall is a slump-busting binge read!

Mood reader index: a twisty, fast-paced small town murder mystery 🤝🏻 family drama

I blew through this book in less than 24 hours! I really enjoyed the author’s “What Lies in the Woods,” which came out last year. But this one had me glued to the book until I finished the last word.

Emma Palmer has just learned she’s pregnant and her husband lost his job, all in the same afternoon. The house they were under contract to buy is no longer in reach, but Emma knows where they can go: to the home where her parents were murdered. She still owns it with her two sisters. Once they’re back in her small town, though, all of the small-town secrets and mysteries come back to the forefront. What really happened the night Emma’s parents died?

I knew from the get-go I was going to like this one; I immediately loved Emma’s vibe and voice. The book is told in alternating perspectives and timelines, so you also get Emma’s sisters’ experiences. Even once you think the mystery is solved — it’s not. The book keeps you guessing until the end. There are also some really witty lines in this book, and I’d love to see the author flex that muscle when more in her next!

Thank you NetGalley and Kate Alice Marshall for the eARC of No One Can Know.

Let me start off by saying that overall, this book was very enjoyable. I really liked the multiple POVs as well as the alternating timeline. I just feel… confused after the end. It seems like it was changed several times, and it almost felt like it was thriller whiplash!

If you’re looking for a fun, binge-worthy thriller, look no further than No One Can Know!

A solid thriller up until the end. I felt like I really liked this u til the end where everything just felt very basic and not very exciting. I feel like this one won’t be too memorable for me.

Another solid read from Kate Alice Marshall. She has become an auto buy author for me! Her plots are compelling and characters are interesting and this one was no exception.

This was my first book by this author and was a great one to start with. No One Can Know would make a great book club pick and discussion. One thing I loved was the family drama. It's something most people can relate too, albeit less dysfunctionally hopefully. I definitely reccomend checking this one out.

This is like my 4th/5th novel by this author and I’ve enjoyed all of them! I was so happy to find out I got approved for this arc due to me loving her last books. I was very intrigued by the description of three sisters having their parents murdered but none of them really knowing what happened. They all just made certain assumptions or pushed it aside out of self (and sister) preservation. I love the fact we get all of their POV’s once the story is a little developed AND we get then and now timelines. This helped keep me plugged into the story and be interested in where it was all going. I like how she added in characters and built them up with all this mystery about them and had me second guessing majority of people from time to time. This author always does a great job at getting me to feel emotions that she’s trying to evoke and be mad or root for certain things. I really loved the plot twists she included as it was building and THE ENDING! I knew some things felt unfinished and I was still unsure and then we get another great twist that will have me thinking about it for a while. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone who likes suspenseful adult thriller novels.

I received a digital copy from NetGalley & the author of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Kate Alice Marshall for this novel!

**edit I did listen to most of this as an audiobook and I really enjoyed it that way as it helped me get into it in the beginning and today immersed in the world.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

• domestic suspense
• multiple POV/dual timeline
• family secrets

I enjoyed the complicated relationships, bad husband, and small town drama. For me, the pacing was a little off. The twists at the end kept coming!

Three estranged sisters end up meeting each other under same roof after many years and circumstances force them to recollect the horrible night their parents were killed in their own home . The police always had their suspicions on the sisters and that they were definitely hiding something. Now Emma the middle sister is forced to reside in their old home and finally confront the past and resolve her past family issues to mend and hold onto her current family she’s making !

This domestic thriller had really interesting premise . It’s a quick read with short chapters alternating between past and present narrated from perspectives of each of the three sisters , that are filled with twists and revelations.
Although the story had the right ingredients for a good suspense thriller , like the build up to the murder incident in the past , the sisters childhood & their secrets, all the red herrings were intriguing to read but the culmination was not impactful comparatively.

Overall this may not be the best domestic thriller book out there but I don’t necessarily mean there is no audience for this book. If you’re a seasoned thriller reader , you won’t find it the best you’ve read but if you are new to thrillers or rarely read them it can be a decent choice.

It’s a 3/5 🌟 read for me .

I really enjoyed Marshall's last book, so picking up No One Can Know was a no brainer. Overall, I liked this story- the complicated dynamics amongst sisters was compelling. I did enjoy seeing the evolution of the personality of each girl based on their difficult upbringing. From a plot perspective, there were some portions of this novel that dragged out- I wish it was shorter. Overall, solid read, but I did like her previous work better.

Thank you to Flatiron Books, and NetGalley for an eARC of No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall.

I enjoyed this thrilling story about three sisters and a past double murder of their parents and their woven secrets. The story starts with Emma and her husband that come into financial trouble and need to move into Emma's childhood home, the location of her parents murder. Once they return the house, the past and present collide to keep you guessing as the secrets are revealed.

The story has multiple POV and time jumps from past to present which keeps you guessing until the last page.

Very solid thriller that kept you guessing the entire time. I liked the creepy old house setting and found this book very entertaining. I kept coming up with theories, but was still shocked!

This book was great! Thank you to #Netgalley for the ARC. I really enjoyed the plot of this book, it was well done, and everytime I thought I knew the answers, there was more to uncover.

Solid thriller that will take the reader on a wild ride. I loved the characters and the twists and turns in this one.

Thank you to Kate Alice Marshall, Flatiron Books, and NetGalley for an eARC of No One Can Know.

I was so excited to get a copy of this book! I loved What Lies In the Woods so I had pretty high expectations for this book. It fell a little flat for me, but I still enjoyed reading it.

Some things I liked:

- The dynamic characters - these characters grew so much from their initial appearance. It was great to track their changes and note how different they were from their childhood up until the end of the story.

- The constant shift of focus on the murderer - I had a niggling feeling who it was, but honestly there were so many clues to the teary, anyone and everyone was a suspect. This is the kind of book to keep you guessing throughout.

Some things I didn’t like:

The pacing - This wasn’t a super long book but it felt slow to me. It dragged a bit and there was so much animosity towards the parents, I just wanted to find out who killed them.

The main character - yeah she has been through some ish, but girl GET IT TOGETHER!!! She was pretty unrelatable to me which I think is why I struggled so much with this one.

Overall I enjoyed the book and will read KAM again when she releases another!

3 out of 5 stars!

A thrilling mystery with lots of twists and turns, this book kept me on the edge of my seat. Check this one out if you like family drama and a hard to guess ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an arc of this novel in exchange for an honest review..

This was a fantastic whodunnit, with a whole lot of twists! It had me guessing all the way to the very end, and I loved every minute of it. The multiple POVs and timelines were woven together well, and I really liked how it all came together in the end.

A really great story with plenty of twists and turns and secrets that I never saw coming and just could not stop reading. Sibling bonds can really cause you to do crazy things.

A compelling page-turner, until the third act.

Emma's life is falling apart. When she returns home from finding out about a surprise pregnancy, she learns her husband has been laid off, and the $10,000 they've put down as earnest money for a new home is gone. There's only one option left for the couple, to return to the home where her parents were murdered. There's only one problem, her husband doesn't know that, nor that Emma spent most of the past 14 years as the primary suspect in the case.

Alternately told between then and now, and by Emma and her two sisters, Juliette and Daphne, the first 2/3 of the book proves to be a compelling page-turner, as you start to uncover pieces of what led to the murders. The parents aren't good people, but it turns out they might have been involved in far more troubling things than the abuse and control they exerted over their daughters. Everyone is a suspect and no one seems to be telling the full truth.

The challenge is in the book's final third, which I won't spoil. Suffice to say, there are so many twists that the ending becomes convoluted. It ends up weakening what is otherwise a very strong book.

* Thank you to Flatiron Books and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review! *

I love books that start out with domestic secrets and this book sucked me right in. It was entertaining and kept me intrigued. The middle was a bit slow, but the writing style is superb.
