I really enjoyed What Lies in the Woods so I was super excited to get my hands on an advanced copy of No One Can Know!

No One Can Know is a fast paced thriller that will leave you guessing until the very end. Just when you think you figured things out, another twists surfaces. There are twists and turns up until the last page. I love when books are written like this. I was so sure I knew who the killer was, but I was completely wrong! Another great thriller by Kate Alice Marshall!

Thanks to Netgalley and Flatiron Books for a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

“No One Can Know” is a story about three sisters, two murders, and too many secrets to count. Emma hasn’t told her husband, Nathan, much about her past. He knows that her parents died and that she hasn’t spoken to her two sisters, Juliette and Daphne, in years. When Emma and Nathan lose their apartment, Nathan gets laid off, and Emma finds out that she’s pregnant, Emma confesses to Nathan that she jointly owns her parents’ house with her estranged sisters. They can’t sell it, but Emma and Nathan can live in it. Returning home to the small town of Arden Hills means that Emma must reveal her secrets to her husband. The house wasn’t just their family home—it is also the place where her parents were murdered. And some people think that Emma did it. Emma and her sisters have never spoken about what really happened on that fateful night. As Emma returns home for the first time in years, family and small-town secrets are revealed.

This was my first time reading one of Kate Alice Marshall’s novels, and I really enjoyed it! This book is told from the points of view of Emma, Juliette and Daphne, alternating between “now” and “then.” While the story is mainly told from Emma’s perspective, I appreciated that we also got to learn more about her two sisters and get inside their heads. It made the story more enjoyable because I never knew who was lying and who was telling the truth. With short chapters and cliffhangers, this was a quick read and a page turner. Just when I thought I had figured it all out, there was another twist. I truly had no idea what was going to happen next, right up to the very last page. A fun mystery that I highly recommend!

This book will be published on January 23, 2024.

Thank you to NetGalley and Flatiron Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A story of whether its better to cover up the truth to protect your loved ones or reveal it and watch someone fall. You aren't certain who to believe or what the consequences will be. The writing and general pace of the book was good and I enjoyed the different perspectives between the three sisters. However; the plot was overly complicated, and I couldn't get invested in the characters.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

I adore Kate Alice Marshall, and the end of this book was pretty great, but the first 3/4....wow was it depressing. Major content warnings for parental abuse (physical, emotional, verbal). I found myself skimming sections because they were just so hard to read. Overall, the twists were engaging and sometimes unexpected, and the MC was well-developed, but I do not think I would ever re-read this one. It was just too bleak and disturbing for the majority of the time.

YES YES YES and ten times over. If I ever see this author name, I'm immediately going to reach for it. I honestly could not put it down.

Wow Kate Alice Marshall has done it again! I absolutely love her books and writing style and this book did not disappoint! You literally had to second guess everyone until the very end. I really enjoyed this book and how it was from the three sisters point of views. Throughout the book you keep thinking it’s one person but then second guess yourself. I will recommend her books always and continue to be the first to read them going forward!

I really look forward to new books by Kate Alice Marshall. No One Can Know is a twisty tale of three sisters, their parents and murder. The book relays multiple points of view and the solution to the murders is murky from old memories and time. I think the plot was overly complicated but I enjoyed this title and look forward to her next book!
