After some financial difficulties, Emma and her husband are forced to move back to her hometown. But this isn't a cute romcom--they have to move into the same house her parents were brutally murdered in. What's more, Emma was the main suspect in the murder.
Secrets come spilling out as Emma reconnects with her sisters whom she hasn't seen since after the murder. While they still don't trust each other fully, they must depend on each other to figure out what actually happened to their parents.
With lots of twists and turns, No One Can Know is a story of secrets, sisterhood, and loyalty.

No One Can Know was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Perfect for a spooky fall read, I forced myself to stay up late into the night and devoured this book in one 4 hour sitting. From the little tidbits each sister dropped about one another, to the ever building suspense, the plot was perfectly paced. While I had my suspicions about who was involved in the overall murder, Kate Alice Marshall kept me second guessing myself right up until the very end. If you’re into suspenseful thrillers, I highly recommend giving this a read.

Thriller enthusiasts, give this a try!! “No One Can Know” gripped me from page one. The plot moves forward quickly and the suspense kept me intrigued. I finished this book in 24 hours! I thought that I knew who it was, but was shocked in the end. If you’re looking for a fast-pace, page-turner, look no further!
A great read!

3.75 Stars - I thought this book was pretty good! Not perfect, but overall I really enjoyed it. My main issue is that I didn't really connect to the 3 sisters or really any of the characters. I really think there could've been a little more detail on their relationships with each other throughout their childhood. Just in general there could've been more details from the past. This book is plot driven which I am good with in general, however I don't think the story was wild enough or fast paced enough to not have more character depth, if that makes sense. I did think I had the ending figured out and for a long time I was sure I did but the ending really pulled through for me with the twists. More of a domestic mystery vs a thriller for MOST of the book for those who are considering pre-ordering. I DO recommend it.

"No One Can Know" was a very interesting, well-written book. About halfway through, I was pretty certain that I had figured out the ending, because I am a super sleuth that picks up on small mentions throughout the book that most people would not. It's a book with a lot of twists and turns, with many people hiding things. I think readers who enjoy mysteries would really like this book. I definitely recommend it.

Another hit from Kate Alice Marshall. This is a pure old fashioned who dun it murder mystery. There are so many suspects, so many viable "bad guys" and the twists are one after another. It's like you find out one thing and a chapter later- nope - it's something else. The twists and turns kept me on my toes and in the end the final truth was satisfying. The three sisters go through a lot and the ending is what you want for them. I felt it started a little slow but then went into fast paced and hard to put down! Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Sinister sisters or virtuous victims? Told in dual timelines NO ONE CAN KNOW follows three sisters in the aftermath of their parents murder. The crime goes unsolved and the sisters become estranged until years later, the middle sister returns to the family home.
KATE ALICE MARSHALL explores familial loyalty, decades-long secrets, and the consequences of incomplete memories and assumptions. I enjoyed the slow burn with a twisty payoff in the last quarter of the book and think suspense fans will too!
Read this if:
A cold case hooks you every time
You enjoy small-town mysteries
Complicated sister dynamics draw you in
PUB DATE: January 23, 2024
RATING: 4/5
Many thanks to Flatiron for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a good wild ride of a book! The character development, the storyline, the imagery was all so well done. There were twists and turns to keep me interested and I couldn’t wait to find out how it ended. Held my interest the entire time, I was satisfied with the ending, and plan to recommend this to my book club once published. SO good!

Yet another Kate Alice Marshall novel that kept me guessing all the way through. Three sisters. Parents murdered. So many lies. No one knows the truth.
No One Can Know is twisty and mind boggling in a way I very much enjoy in a thriller. This much like her other novels bounces between multiple characters perspectives and embraces multiple timelines.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Flatiron Books, as well as the author for this advanced reading copy in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this one! It was a good thriller where everyone has secrets and you don't really guess the ending. It got a little slow in the middle, but picked up towards the end.

I enjoyed my first Kate Alice Marshall novel. Plenty of guessing throughout!
Emma hasn't told her husband much about her past. He knows her parents are dead and she hasn't spoken to her sisters in years. Then they lose their apartment, her husband gets laid off, and Emma discovers she's pregnant―right as the bank account slips into the red.
That's when Emma confesses that she has one more asset: her parents' house, which she owns jointly with her estranged sisters. They can't sell it, but they can live in it. But returning home means that Emma is forced to reveal her secrets to her husband: that the house is not a run-down farmhouse but a stately mansion, and that her parents died there.
Were murdered.
And that some people say Emma did it.
Emma and her sisters have never spoken about what really happened that night. Now, her return to the house may lure her sisters back, but it will also crack open family and small-town secrets lots of people don’t want revealed. As Emma struggles to reconnect with her old family and hold together her new one, she begins to realize that the things they have left unspoken all these years have put them in danger again.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC! I was struggling to rate this one after loving the authors previous novel. This one didn't hit the mark for me, but I did enjoy the ending. I got a little bored in the middle. I would still recommend this to anyone who enjoys thrillers.

This story of three sisters who grew up in a strict, abusive household, cleaving to each other for survival, only to get separated when their parents are murdered, is an original page turner.

Thank you Netgalley for an early copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
I am going back and forth on rating this one... I really liked it but I don't think I LOVED it (like I did with Kate Alice Marshall's other adult novel). This was a good story because everyone (and I mean everyone) was keeping secrets and I love unreliable narrators, but I did find myself getting a little bored about 70 percent in. I even went a read a couple other books and then circled back to it. The ending was solid, and I was second guessing everything throughout the story. I enjoyed the pacing and the writing, and I would recommend. It just didn't have that WOW factor, but that is okay. It still was a very good book.

I ended up not finishing this book. I have enjoyed this authors previous books, but I ended up not wanting to finish this one.

When Emma, Juliette and Daphne were kids, their parents were murdered. The police tried to blame Emma for the murders but there wasn’t enough evidence. She did everything she could to protect her sisters from suspicion but the three girls became estranged and life went on. Now Emma is back in town with her husband Nathan, renovating the house they grew up in, that her parents were murdered in. As Emma starts to ask questions about that night, about the murder, the truth is unraveling and dangerous secrets come to light. Who really killed her parents? And will anyone else die trying to find out? A great twisty thriller that was unputdownable! Thank you NetGalley for the digital copy.

Holy crap, this book was so freaking good. I stayed up all night to read it, which means I have a book hang over today and I’m way too tired to do anything but dwell on how amazing this book was. Got to say, I hated the husband, and Daphne was giving me some Misery vibes…. But I loved all of it. This has been my most favorite book so far this year!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved Kate Alice Marshall’s books since I read The Rules For Vanishing. So now I will read whatever books of hers that I can find.
She really wraps you up and immerses you in the story.

Emma returns to the house and the town where her parents were murdered when she and her two sisters, Juliette and Daphne, were teenagers. Emma was suspected of the murder by the police and when she returns as an adult, the suspicion remains.
What I loved:
-The mystery of Emma's parents' murders, and the fact that I was questioning the whole time who actually did it.
-Learning the details from multiple points of view and in different time periods.
-The story was interesting enough that I wanted to keep reading to find out what really happened.
What I didn't love:
-The book was slow moving for a long time, and then suddenly the mystery came together and there was a lot happening at the end. It felt a bit disjointed.
-I didn't really connect with any of the characters. None of the sisters were very sympathetic, and Emma's husband had red flags from the beginning. The parents were also awful people.
I enjoyed this author's first book more, and felt it was a much more engaging story.

5/5 ⭐️
If you love psychological thrillers, this book is for you!! There’s so many different plot twists, you’ll find yourself coming up with different theories. Definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year, I loved it!
This book is told from an ER nurse point of view. It starts off with a prologue and then continues with her treating an icu patient named Caitlin who jumped off a bridge.
Theres 2 stories in this book. The first one being the mystery of what happened to Caitlin and the second one with a killer going around targeting women.
