I want to start off by thanking the author and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book prior to it's release. I was thoroughly impressed with the author's ability to weave two stories together. The central plot of this book is a murder mystery of the parents of three young girls. Never charged with the crime, they have moved on with their lives, each individually. That is, until fate brings them back to the house where the murders took place.

Now, 14 years later, the oldest sister tries to piece together what really happened all those years ago. However, what happens next and the revelations that follow are what makes this book the perfect fall read.

The was my first time reading a Kate Marshall book, and I can say that I really enjoyed reading this book! Her ability to develop the characters throughout the story impressed me and made this book an easy, fun read. I give it a solid 3.5 stars, rounded to 4 stars!

Whew. This book will take you on a ride.
Three sisters….a murder….their parents dead.

Who killed them….the police think it’s one of the girls. They all have their secrets that No One Can Know. They all have guilt over their I I thoughts of wanting their parents dead. They weren’t nice people after all.

Will you be able to figure out the real story…who the the real killer is? Will the twists surprise you?

I really enjoyed this book. It was an unputdownable book that I was so glad to have with me on a long day of traveling. This was the kind of book that you really just need to keep reading to find out what will happen.

In this story, we follow Emma and her husband in a moment of crisis. Big life moments are happening. Emma just found out she is pregnant, her husband just lost his job, money is tight, and on top of that they have just lost their apartment. Enter the family inheritance, an abandoned mansion that Emma owns with her three estranged sisters. The catch, her parents were murdered there, and Emma is the prime suspect. At least to the small town and local police. Alternating perspectives amongst the three sisters in the past and present, the tension mounts as we learn more about what happened the night of their parents' murders.

Big fan of this one. It was a quick read with an overall satisfying plot and climax.

The twists and turns in this one kept me guessing until the end. Emma, Juliette and Daphne grow up with abusive parents, each of the girls doing what they can to survive it. When their parents are murdered, all 3 girls are hiding secrets from each other, each one not having trust in each other.

Years later, Emma and her husband Nathan are forced to move back into her childhood home where they encounter way more than they bargained for. With another murder happening at the same house, what really happened all those years ago? Which sister is guilty?

Love the character development in this book. Even the secondary characters are well written!

Many thanks to Flatiron Books and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The book opens with two dead parents and Emma Palmer calling the police while sisters Daphne and Juliette look on. Years later Emma and her husband Nathan are in a financial mess and are forced to return to the house in Arden Hills; the other sisters agree to let them come back though all have been estranged since the news got of their parents’ death. The town has not forgotten the tragedy nor the fact that the citizens believe Emma was to blame.

At first I had the sense that I had read this book before, though I hadn’t, but that’s not the best sign. The book was good, though not great. It meanders a bit at times, but I loved the description of the girls’ mother, “so controlled because she is afraid that if she relaxes, she will slip up, and the friends she plays tennis with will somehow sense the electrician’s daughter underneath all that cashmere and silk….mother isn’t beautiful. She’s the kind of person called beautiful because she is thin and has good teeth and an expensive haircut.” Tells you everything. Overall, worth the read.

I really enjoyed this one! This kept me guessing throughout the story. Kate Alice Marshall does such a great job keeping you engaged as you are reading. 4.5 stars

I really liked this book…There were twists and turns throughout that had me reeling! I love a good thriller and I’m always trying to figure out who done it. My guesses were way off throughout, and even at the very end, the author left it up to the reader whether or not to believe it,

This was a fast paced read and I highly recommend. I gave this 4.5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

3.5/5 stars rounded up to 4🌟 No One Can Know is another solid mystery by Kate Alice Marshall about three sisters, Emma, Juliette, Daphne as they unravel the mystery surrounding the tragic death of their parents. Lies, secrets, corruption, romance. This book really has a little bit of everything, and makes readers ask them themselves: How far will you go to protect your family? How well do you really know those around you?

I enjoyed the multiple POVs this book offered but I feel it led to confusion at times. Daphne’s point of view was told pretty early on and that first chapter from her perspective really had me reeled in! However, I feel the author didn’t return back to Daphne’s point of view until much later in the book and I found myself having to look back several chapters to jog my memory of where her story left off. Although I think that the plot of this book is great and the “whodunnit” aspect is intriguing, I feel there was a lot of extra details that lead me off of the main story line quite often. I was left still feeling confused even after I finished it.

Overall still a solid thriller full of twists and turns that we all love! Huge thank you to NetGalley, Flatiron books, and Kate Alice Marshall for this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. 🧡

Thanks to Netgalley & St. Martin's Press for the E-ARC! I enjoyed this very much! The twists were so good & I loved the setting! Definitely will read more from this author.

Thanks Netgalley for the copy! I REALLY enjoy Kate Alice Marshall, and this story of hers was no exception.
I love the dual timeline usage to be able to bring us back to the night of the double homicide, while also keeping us squarely in the current-day storyline. I thought Emma was such a well fleshed out character: clearly traumatized from her past, very protective over her siblings, connected to her husband by both desire and what felt like necessity: really made her relatable. I liked Daphne probably a little less, and JJ was difficult but well done. The multi-POV worked to really flesh out what happened that night, and provide some twists and turns

Typically I don't love an 'unreliable narrator' trope for thrillers, but I thought this skirted the line really well. No one is TRULY lying, they know only certain things, or they give up only certain context as it feels fit. I think that really worked. The author found a great balance between outright lying and slightly fibbing.

This is a great read if you love a good thriller, love piecing together through someone elses thoughts who a murderer is, and walking away with a not perfectly tied-up storyline!

I worship at the altar that is Kate Alice Marshall. It's hard to explain what's so amazing about her books, but I have read both her adult and YA books, and there's just something about the way she writes. Whether it's a thriller mystery or a paranormal horror, they're all deeply disturbing and incredibly thoughtful. I loved No One Can Know, a story that revolves mostly around three sisters, their bonds, and the things they'd do to protect each other. I love a story that's messy and confusing, and KAM certainly delivers with this one

I loved the premise of this book - I always find an unsolved childhood crime to be a great set-up for a thriller. I almost felt like the author could have gone even further with one more twist at the end, but I thought they did a great job of wrapping up the story nicely. Will absolutely read more from Kate Alice Marshall!

WOW.. I really enjoyed this book. Poor Emma I feel for her trying to be loyal and taking all the blame, I feel like she lost the most of all.
.
Kate does a great job of keeping you guessing throughout the story. I will say 3/4 of the way through I thought I knew who really did it, then a twist came and I was back to square one. 3 sisters bound together by a not so great family life but then separated by tragedy only to reunite 14 years later to find out what really happened.
.
JJ, Emma and Daphne and now baby Wren. oh and lets not forget Gabriel read No One Can Know to get the whole story, Highly recommend.
.
Thank you, @Netgalley for the advanced read copy of No One Can Know for my honest opinion.

I think I would read Kate Alice Marshall's grocery lists at this point. I've been getting more into thrillers this year and I'm so glad I've found her work. I think she does a great job of keeping you on your toes. She writes in such a way that makes it hard to put the book down because you want to know what happens next. I finished this book in a little over a day. I liked that this book had different character perspectives and flashbacks. Having to work through all the memories and details made the book very engaging. As far as characters, the sisters were an interesting trio. Characters in her books don't come across as flat; they feel like real people. This is especially true in this book where you are exposed to a variety of personalities and flawed family dynamics. This book is very twisty and it kept me constantly guessing who was responsible for the murders. Every time I felt like I knew what happened a new detail would throw a wrench in my mystery solving lol. Thank you to Netgalley and Flatiron Books so much for the opportunity to read this ARC!!

Received as an arc on #Netgalley.

Three sisters have a big secret that they keep for 14 years until one sister falls on hard times and has to move back into the family home where their parents were killed.

They try to continue protecting their secrets, but their lies are starting to unravel.

The story was compelling and kept me guessing. The characters weren't particularly likable, but as damaged as they all were, it made sense. Overall, it was an enjoyable read.

This book starts in the chaos of Emma's life. Emma and her husband have some unfortunate cirumstances that force them to move back into Emma's childhood home, where her parents were murdered and she is suspected to be the killer. Being back in that environment, she begins to questions everything she thought she knew about what happened to her parents and how she thought she was protecting her sisters, Juliette and Daphne.

This switches POVs between the 3 sisters which I always love, but it also switches between "Then" and "Now". I enjoy this time flop because it really gets you thinking and trying to figure out what happened.

I gave this a solid 4 stars. Kate Alice Marshall has perfected the creepy thriller vibes. I was definitely hooked in the story and wasn't able to put it down.

Synopsis: Emma, Daphne and Juliette were young when both of their parents were murdered. Though the case was never solved, Emma was the prime suspect - but all three sisters have secrets from that night, even from each other. Now, many years later, Emma has fallen on hard times and has to move back into their childhood home. After being estranged all these years, the sisters a reunited and have to face what really happened to their parents.

Thoughts: I was so excited to read this after really enjoying Kate’s last novel, What Lies in the Woods, and I was not disappointed! If you’re a fan of twisty psychological thrillers with fast pacing, put this book on your TBR for January! The plot involves the perspectives of three women past and present, and the storylines are excellently woven together, which can’t have been an easy feat. As I got to know each of the three sisters and more secrets were revealed throughout the book, I was no closer to solving the mystery- I was truly guessing right up until the end! I also loved the deeper exploration of sibling relationships. All in all, a smart, twisty, riveting thriller that I definitely recommend!

Although I think this book would have appeal for some readers, I found it to be somewhat a muddle. Everything that could possibly go wrong did to Emma and her husband. Then they moved into a mess of a house, with bad memories, and then the marriage began to fail and then (spoiler alert) her husband dies and of course, as before, she is thought to be the culprit. The basic premise of the book is interesting, but it was somewhat predictable--even the red herrings. I appreciated the ending of the book--a weird kind of justice prevailed and "all ended well."

This was a really engaging and suspenseful whodunit thriller! Literally had no idea what happened until the final reveal. Emma is pregnant and jobless, Her and her husband need to move into her family's empty mansion that her and her two estranged sisters own. The three of them were separated after the brutal murder of their parents. Any one of the sisters could be guilty, but the authorities didn't have enough evidence and they were sent to fosters. Now, Living in the new house, the others in the town believe she was the murderer and Emma wants the truth to come out.

This one is told in the past and present, and I'll tell you ..lots of twists. There's a lot going on, so just have fun with it. This is what I'd call an entertaining, popcorn thriller! I love this authors writing.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the gifted copy. All opinions are my own. My review will be posted on Instagram, Bookbub, Goodreads and Amazon once it publishes.

I was really excited about this book but felt like it fell flat. I was pretty invested until about 75% in when I realized how slow it was. There was some action but it was absolutely a slow burn. The ending felt rushed and a lot of back and forth and all over the place. The twist also felt a little bit predictable.
