I still have SO many questions. To be fair, I think that’s the point. However, books like that make me angry haha I love answers!! That being said, this was great! All of the characters were the perfect amount of suspicious and irritating, yet intriguing. Safe to say Marshall is 2/2!

This book had a great plot about 3 sisters and the murder of their parents. Told from three points of view and past and present was a little confusing. The book seemed to drag in multiple points in the story-however the ending was pretty good. There were a lot of characters and that also made it confusing at times. Overall it was a decent book but I never felt excited about reading it and didn’t feel like I couldn’t put it down. Thank you to NetGalley, Flatiron Books and Kate Alice Marshall for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kate Alice Marshall had me hooked from page 1. This is a fast paced psychological thriller that includes the past and present of three sisters following the murder of their parents. The parents were perfect on paper and appearance but behind closed doors were abusive and had secrets. The murders remained unsolved but one of the sisters, Emma, remains the number one suspect. As she returns to her childhood home with her husband, she begins to question and investigate everything she thinks she knows from that night. I love that this story demonstrates the unspoken bond between sisters and has you questioning and second guessing every character in the book.

This is the second Kate Alice Marshall book I read and I must confess that she is moving up on the list of my favorite authors. I highly recommend this book and only took off a star because the end became a little too busy for my liking. I felt that the who done it was changing too often to follow when the story was wrapping up.

Thank you to Flatiron Books and NetGalley for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was incredible. The twists and turns were unexpected. I love when I read a book and I can picture it like a movie in my head. Every time I thought I figured it out, I was so wrong

I absolutely loved this book. Kate Alice Marshall has done it again and keeps you guessing the whole time. The dynamic between the three sisters is amazing. The all have secrets and little by little those start to come out in regard to their parents' murder. Just as you think you know what's going on, you are sent another direction. I loved this book and will be sure to buy a physical copy once released. thank you Netgalley for the ARC, I devoured in one day!!!

A new twisty thriller from the author of What Lies in the Woods.

Three sisters, separated after tragedy. Emma, does not know much about Daphne or Juliette anymore but she hopes to get in touch with them soon. She's pregnant, jobless and needs to stay in their shared house...the house. The house where their parents were murdered many years ago. Following the tragedy, the sisters were split and the house lies empty.

Returning to her childhood home with her husband Nathan brings up many old memories. Plenty of townspeople believe Emma murdered her parents and she can't seem to convince anyone that she is innocent. The question is, is she innocent? Who killer her parents?

Twisty thriller, perfect set up - if you love a twist, a practically haunted mansion, or just love a estrange sister reunion, No One Can Know is for you!
#Flatironbooks #NoOneCanKnow #KateAliceMArshall

Everything has collapsed around Emma and Nathan: an accident left her without employment; they need to vacate their rental in 60 days; they put earnest money down on a house but Nathan was just laid off so they’re going to lose the down payment; and Emma just found out she is unexpectedly pregnant. Emma hasn’t been totally forthcoming about her past with Nathan, but now is the time to tell him the full story of an asset that could assist them — her murdered parents’ mansion (not a dilapidated farmhouse), co-owned with her two sisters. This primarily is Emma’s story and her return to the murder house prompts the return of older sister Juliette/JJ and the need to contact younger sister Daphne. The three were split up 15 years ago — JJ disappeared to college; Emma and Daphne were put in foster care. And they haven’t talked during all that time. Now Emma isn’t even revealing what happened to her husband Nathan — she’s still secretive and apparently loyal to her sisters and their agreed upon false version of what happened. But why? And if one of the sisters didn’t kill the parents, who did, why did they, and what does Emma’s return do to stir things up?

The pace is steady, but it dragged until a twist just beyond the midpoint. It’s hard to root for an Emma who’s being surly to her husband, antagonistic toward her sister JJ and the old police investigator, and continually secretive. She is so adamant that the truth will be left in the past — that creates a stalling point in the narrative’s flow. Since I was tempted to almost not finish, I can only give this 3.5 stars. A more patient reader might enjoy this story of sisters more.

This was my first Kate Alice Marshall read, and let's just say it did not disappoint! I was for sure I knew who did it, but then the more I read the more I was second guessing myself. I was kept on my toes for sure! The POV between the 3 sisters in right before the murder happend and now is perfect. The only thing I could wish for to make it a 5 star for me is a POV from Emma's husband, Nathan, to know if he really believed her and what was really going on in that head of his.

Emma keeps her past close to her, only telling her husband that her parents died and that she hasn't spoken to her sisters in years. However, when her husband loses his job, they lose their apartment, AND Emma finds out she's pregnant, the only place they have to turn to is Emma's childhood home--the scene of her parents' murder.

Emma and her sisters are bound by silence over what happened in that house so many years prior. Told in alternating points of view and in dual timelines, it seems that one sister is covering for the others. But as more details emerge, instead of painting a clearer picture of her parents' last few moments alive, the more questions arise of just who was in the house that fateful night.

Only one thing kept me from perfect enjoyment of this story, and that was how distant I felt from the characters. Usually I can put myself in the story, and it's like I'm there watching the action from a front-row seat. I had a hard time connecting with any of the sisters, but despite that minor issue, I was invested in the outcome and was left guessing until the end.

Thank you so much to Flatiron Books and NetGalley for this early read. NO ONE CAN KNOW will publish January 23, 2024.

“No one can know” by Kate Alice Marshall is a psychological thriller set in a dual time line with narration by three sisters: Emma, Juliette, and Daphne. The book begins with Emma and her new husband coming back to live in the house that the sister’s parents were murdered in 10 years earlier.
The story is a quick read and suspenseful with narrative twists to the very last page.

This was a good murder mystery. I thought I had it figured out a few times but it would always take a turn. Like the way the author writes and would recommend

This is my second five start Kate Alice Marshall book and I’ve only read two! The plot was unique and not one of the been there done that tropes I’ve read a million times. Three estranged sisters are harboring secrets, even from each other, about the night they found their parents murdered. Throughout the entire book (yes even until the very final pages) I never quite figured out who the murderer was. Just when I thought I had it a new twist or piece of information would come out and throw me for a loop. The book hooks you right from the very beginning and kept me engaged throughout. Thank you to Netgalley and Flatiron Books for the ARC.

Emma and her sisters have not spoken much in years, actually not since her parents were murdered and she was suspected of involvement in. When Emma's husband loses his job, and their income becomes non existent, they moved back into her family home which was left to her and her 2 sisters in trust.
No one has lived there since the murders.
And so the story begins.
Some very good and well-developed characters in an interesting and "not sure what to expect next"
unraveling story. Her husband has trouble with the assurance of her innocence when locals start
harassing her and targeting their home.
Suspenseful for sure and great reading for those who really like a genuine mystery,
Kept me guessing.

A good book with lots of twists and turns. I did get a little confused at times with the different viewpoints and timelines, but I think that it worked out in the end.

I liked this book, but not as much as "What Lies in the Woods". The dual timelines and multiple POVs were utilized well to give you the full story. However, I never really connected with the characters, and I didn't understand a lot of the choices they made. Part of the ending was fairly predictable, but I still enjoyed the journey to get there overall.

Expected publication is January 23, 2024.

Thank you NetGalley and Flatiron Books for the ARC.

What a perfect thriller ! Kate Alice Marshall has done it again with another great hit. I loved her last book, What lies in the woods! Her latest book is just as good and twisty ! It kept me guessing until the end, very suspenseful. The story and characters were very well written! I highly recommend this thriller.

Thank you Netgalley and Flatiron Books for the electronic arc copy for my honest review.

It was my first time reading a book written by Kate Alice Marshall and while it wasn't mind-blowing, in my opinion, I did enjoy it. Although I must admit, I had a pretty hard time connecting with the characters which made it all a little difficult to stay invested in the story.
I don't know if I'll try another book by this author in the future but I'll keep my mind open!

The plot wasn’t very original and I found it hard to keep up with the shifting time lines and points of view. There were also a lot of minor side characters introduced that were hard to keep up with. The main issue I had with this novel though was that I didn’t feel a connection to any of the characters, and I found them all to be untrustworthy. The writing itself was not bad, I just find it hard to enjoy stories where I feel unconnected and unsympathetic to the characters.

No matter how hard I tried I just could not with this nook. The writing is so annoying and all over the place. I couldn't follow along to save my life.

I had a really hard time with this novel. The phrase “willfully obtuse” comes to mind. There were so many moments where the plot was just being withheld so the characters could flail around being unreliable narrators. Maybe I am just bored of this genre, but this book was not gripping enough to sustain all its purported secrets.
