Really good! I’m a huge fan of this author and will absolutely read anything she writes. I can’t wait to see what’s next, she’s definitely becoming one of my go-to authors for spooky reads. This was a page-turner, I would highly recommend checking this book out! Thank you so much NetGalley for this ARC

Following financial trouble and an unexpected pregnancy, Emma and her husband decide to temporarily move into her childhood home/ the house where her parents were murdered. Let the unraveling of the family secrets and the events that happened that night begin…

The premise of the story was interesting, and the format of the book (multiple POV, alternating timeline) was engaging and effective. However, I felt that the story loses steam towards the middle. The pacing picks back up towards the end but there were too many revelations jam-packed in the last few chapters that made it hard to keep the story straight.

P.S. The audiobook narration is excellent!

Thank you Netgalley and Kate Alice Marshall for an ARC of this audiobook.

Does it make me a psychopath to say I'm happy the parents were offed? LOL. They were truly awful. I loved the dynamic of the sisters even though they were really likeable themselves.

Karissa Vacker, the narrator did an amazing job. I was totally enthralled in the story. She did a great job portraying all 3 sisters. And Miss Kate Alice Marshall is always a one-click author for me. Her writing is phenomenal.

Marshall is quickly becoming one of my favorite thriller writes. I adored her previous novel, “What Lies in the Woods” and really enjoyed “No One Can Know” too. What I found most intriguing was that, unlike most thrillers, my motivation for wanting to figure out “whodunit” had nothing to do with wanting justice for the victims. Quite the opposite actually - I wanted to know who was tough enough to take down the girls’ horribly callous and psychotically malicious parents. As a reader I had zero sympathy for any of the victims and was far more interested in what was the final straw that broke the perpetrator’s back,

Told from the three sisters’ point of views in dual time lines, the pacing is quick, the writing style fluid and detailed, the recollection of events muddled and realistic, and the story engaging and twisty. The narrator, Karissa Vacker, was stellar as always and did an incredible job of differentiating the voices. Her pacing was excellent and her annunciation clear and precise. It was so easy to navigate the different characters and timeline with Vacker’s narration.

In the novel, the reader is constantly guessing what really happened and, like most things in life, is left with several versions of truths. An awesome thriller to listen to and I kept finding time to pop in my headphones to keep listening!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan audio for the advance audiobook. All opinions are my own.

In this latest thriller from Kate Alice Marshall, Emma and her husband, Nathan, return to her childhood home where her parents were murdered 14 years ago. The small town isn’t excited to see them, though. Emma was the primary suspect in the murder, and the case remains unsolved.

I did not want to put this one down. Told from the perspectives of the three sisters—Juliette, Emma, and Daphne—this one is perfect for fans of dual timelines, family drama, morally grey characters, unreliable narrators, and plot twists.

I highly recommend listening to the audiobook narrated by Karissa Vacker. She nails the narration, capturing the personalities of the three sisters—both then and now, and knows how and when to turn up the tension and suspense.

I received an advance copy of the audiobook from Macmillan Audio and NetGalley. All review opinions are my own.

Book review
I usually only listen to audiobooks while working or working out but I found myself desperately finding reasons to keep my headphones on to keep listening.

No One Can Know follows three estranged sisters, Emma, Daphne, and Juliet, whose parents were murdered years ago. Emma and her husband Nathan are going through financial trouble and decide to live in Emma’s parent’s old home—her dead parents old home, an impressive family home that houses quite a few bad memories for each of the sisters. When Emma moves in and the sisters reconnected, things begin to unravel and secrets begin to come out.

I loved the way the title of the book came in—I was waiting for that and it did not disappoint! A fantastic, quick listen that kept me on the edge of my seat.

I had not expected to get so invested in the story of three sisters with a secret. A secret that they keep protecting for whatever the price. A secret they don't know.
I love the story mostly for the diverse set of characters - diverse in the sense of their personality. Each of the sisters has her traits, and the narrator does an amazing job of making distinctions between them.
The book also touches on many different topics intertwined in a mystery: emotional abuse, sisterhood, protectiveness, shame of oneself, and small-town mentality. I feel like this recipe was a master chef's choice, and it came out engaging, and mysterious with a bit of whodunit.
The only thing, I would say, that did not sit well with me was the ending, which was brushed off. It was so quick, I needed to go back and listen again to make sure I got it right (I didn't) so the whole thing was a little spoiled for me. Other than that, I feel like this is a worthwhile read.

I loved this story, despite how unlikeable some of the characters and their actions are. It is a very twisty tale, involving a woman who is essentially forced (by financial circumstances) to move back into her childhood home—the house where her parents were murdered. After years of her estrangement with her sisters, and keeping to their pact to back up each others stories about what really happened that fateful night when they were teenagers, Emma moves back in with her husband and confronts her past, including the fact that she was the prime suspect. The book explores the repercussions of the double murder and the events that take place after the story is dredged up again. The take is a bit complicated and there were so many reasons for the mistaken assumptions of what really happened; getting through them is a fascinating and entertaining exercise. Plus, the narration by Karissa Vacker is wonderful. Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this audiobook.

This was pretty good. Not exactly what I expected but I like the narrator and enjoyed it very much. Im excited to see what this author comes out with next.

3.5. I enjoyed this book. I liked the atmosphere and the relationship of the sisters; that felt real. What didn’t feel real was the “shocking twist.” It was easy to figure out and convenient. So I enjoyed the ride, but the ending was a let down. I will definitely read more by this author, I loved her style and mood.

Accused of her parents murder years earlier, Emma is not looking forward to returning home. But when things go south for her and her husband, that is exactly what they do. And the secrets start to reveal themselves.
While the person her who killed her parents was never caught, the three sisters are bound by silence and secrecy. Each has secrets they don't want to share, and the events of the night of the killings is shrouded in mystery. Bring on the small town vibes, and you are in for one crazy ride.

This was a fantastic read, and I could NOT put it down! One of my favorites for the year so far. I look forward to seeing more from this author, and to sharing this one with friends. What a trip this book was.

This one was a fast read for me. I finished it in just a few days. There was a lot of family drama in this one with 3 sisters and a set of horrible parents. The story was told between now and then using the different perspectives of each sister. There was enough motives for any character in the book to be the bad person. I thought the ending was good and wrapped everything up to satisfaction, but wasn't as exciting as the book was. I listened on audio and the narrator was very good! This was the first book I have read by this author and I am excited to check out some other stuff.

All hail the thriller audiobook narrator QUEEN, Karissa Vacker, for this amazing performance of three sisters, two murders, and too many secrets to count! This thriller was such a wild ride and I loved every dark twist. Vacker brilliantly narrated the whispers, hushed secrets, and hidden rage of each sister as their story developed.

When Emma Palmer unexpectedly gets pregnant and then her husband loses his job, they are forced to move back to her childhood home she co-owns with her two estranged sisters. The home where her parents were murdered 14 years ago that they can’t sell but can live in. The move forces Emma to expose parts of her past she’s kept neatly buried for years; including the fact that she was the lead suspect in the murder case of her parents but was never convicted due to a lack of evidence. But when her return also brings back her estranged sisters to town, their reconnection leads them to ask dangerous questions about what really happened the night of the murders. With multiple POVs, and told through a mix of present and flashback scenes, this dark and twisty thriller was full of atmosphere, evil villains, shocking secrets, and is a testament to the bond of shared trauma and the lengths sisters will go to protect one another. I simply could not predict where the story was going, but could not stop listening.

Thank you to Macmillan audio for my advanced listener’s copy! I am thrilled to share this book with my followers during pub week.

Pretty good book, it kept me interested the whole time. It moved at a good pace and it was never boring. I really enjoyed the flashbacks. I didn’t guess the final ending.
Thank you Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book early.

A whodunnit murder mystery that dives into the complex lives of three sisters more than a decade after their parents were murdered.

I was sucked into this one right from the beginning and was engaged almost the whole time. I didn't find that there were twists as much as pieces of the puzzle being slowly revealed. That being said, I wouldn't characterize this as a slow burn.

I found the ending a bit predictable, but there were enough little twists and reveals in the final chapters that it felt satisfying enough and like I didn't have it completely figured out.

An enjoyable book that will make you want to read more by the author.

Thank you NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the advance audio of this book in exchange for an honest review.

In an unexpected twist of fate, Emma finds herself compelled to return to her family home after 14 years, a place laden with haunting memories of her parents' tragic murder. The wounds are still fresh, and the town remains convinced of her guilt. Emma never imagined facing her sisters or revisiting the shadows of her past, but a series of life-altering events leaves her with no choice.

As she steps back into the house stained by the echoes of a gruesome past, Emma's present becomes entangled with unanswered questions. Her husband's inquiries intensify, probing into a history she can't fully unravel, while the judgmental gaze of the town lingers. Amid the process of cleaning up the remnants of the past, new mysteries surface, compelling Emma to confront the truth once and for all.

'No One Can Know,' narrated by the captivating Karissa Vacker, skillfully weaves a suspenseful narrative around Emma's journey, exploring the delicate balance between past and present. Vacker's narration adds a layer of intensity to the unfolding drama, making this audiobook a compelling exploration of secrets, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the privilege of experiencing this gripping tale ahead of its release. 'No One Can Know' is a testament to Marshall's storytelling finesse, coupled with Vacker's immersive narration, creating an audiobook that leaves a lasting impact."

I enjoyed the premise and was sucked in from the beginning. The narrator did a great job with the audiobook. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I listened to the audio version of this book, and really enjoyed the narrator. When Emma Palmer faced the tragedy of her parents' murder at 16, her family shattered, leaving her estranged from sisters Juliette and Daphne. Fourteen years later, circumstances force Emma and her husband, Nick, back to their childhood home, the very site of her parents' death. Initially planning a temporary stay and potential renovation for resale, Emma's return unveils hidden layers of the past, prompting her to delve into the mysteries concealed within the home.

Having previously enjoyed Kate Alice Marshall's adult debut, "What Lies in the Woods," earlier this year, I was excited to explore her latest work. Marshall possesses a unique skill with words that sets her thrillers apart. Her atmospheric writing immerses readers in scenes, crafting chilling images through almost poetic language. Character development stands out as well, transcending genre stereotypes and adding depth to the narrative. While not quite literary fiction, Marshall's prose edges closer than typical thrillers, displaying a care for language often overlooked in the genre.

Though I can't provide direct quotes from the yet-to-be-released final version, I found myself underlining numerous passages—whether for their beauty or their succinct portrayal of characters. While the central mystery in this story didn't grip me as much as her previous thriller, the overall narrative remained engaging, with the final 10% introducing enjoyable twists and turns. The suspicion surrounding multiple characters had me concocting conflicting theories about the murderer, each feeling plausible.

Looking ahead, I'm eager to witness Kate Alice Marshall's evolution in this genre. If she maintains this level of storytelling, she might well become my go-to thriller author. Her dramatic and slightly over-the-top style resonates with me, creating a page-turning experience without compromising my belief in the characters or the story—a perfect blend for a captivating novel!

This was the first book by this author that I’ve read. The plot was introduced to be more interesting than it turned out to be. The characters weren’t likable. I appreciate when unlikable characters make the story great. These ones were a fail for me. The main characters did suffer different kinds of abuse from their wealthy parents which made their characters have a bit more personality. I received this as an audiobook and the narrator was fantastic.
