I really enjoyed this one. Another positive thriller. I felt like some of the twists were predictable but I still had a good time and enjoyed myself.

This was a great mystery/thriller. I loved listening to the audiobook. The middle was a bit slow but the ending was good!

I truly enjoyed this book in a suspenseful and input-downable way! It kept me engaged and The writer kept me involved and invested as the many plots and scenarios unfolded. The story behind each character was interesting as they developed over the years. I recommend this book highly with a five star review. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have enjoyed this author before and was excited to read another book from her. I was not disappointed. This book was such an exceptional read. Full of twists and turns. I really didn't know how this story would end or where it was going. A town full of bad, a family full of hurt, three sisters full of secrets. It was CRAZY ya'll. Such a wild ride. Most thrillers I can pretty much unravel the secrets pretty quickly, this book, nope! It was so good. Its gonna be one of my favorites of the year, I am sure. The narrator was so good, brough everything to life and just made the audio wow.

I was such a fan of what lies in the woods and couldn't wait to see if this one lived up to it.

It was an intriguing domestic suspense novel. It took me a little while to warm up to Emma, but I eventually did. I liked the relationship between the sisters and I thought the book became infinitely better once they were introduced.

The author does a good job of weaving the traumatic past of the sisters with the present. Hinting without spilling what exactly their trauma was kept me quickly reading this one. And those twists were a reward for the slow beginning.

And Karissa Vacker once again does a great job with the narration. She voices all three of them and their highs and lows, calm and intensity all while I was easily able to distinguish between the sisters and follow the story. She has quickly become one of my favorite narrators and makes every audiobook she narrates even better.

Really enjoyed this twisty mystery thriller. Kept me guessing throughout the pages. Thank you NetGalley for the audio eArc.

This title was a fun academic read filled with friendship tension and deception. I enjoyed the development of the story.

I'm a bit stuck in the middle with this book. While I typically enjoy thrillers with twists and turns, this one almost stuck all of them in the last 25% of the book. It almost took me out of the story a bit. I enjoyed the dynamic of the three sisters, although it was a bit difficult to get into the "then" and "now" at first especially changing between the characters so much. I did enjoy that the narrator gave each of the characters a slightly different tone. I think that kept me in the story more, and I appreciated that. This was my first book by this author, and I was intrigued enough to know that I will be reading more from her in the future. Overall, it was a good but not great thriller, I'd give it about a 3.5/5 stars.

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan audio for an advanced listening copy of this book. All opinions within this review are my own.

I feel like there was so much potential wrapped up in this psychological thriller, but much of it was lost. Emma's reactions were not believable. I questioned every move she made because many of them made no sense, especially towards the end of the book. The flashbacks that Juliette experienced did not come across very smoothly. It often caused me confusion as I attempted to follow along. The sense of a small town charm with the dark past that involved these 3 sisters 14 years ago was lacking. I loved the house, the theme that centered around it, and the darkness that seeped through the pages from it. I think it may have actually been my favorite character. Although I found some faults, I did buckle in for the ride because I wanted to know who did it. You're going to have to read all the way though to the end to find out if no one can *still* know.

This was such a twisty one! It’s about a couple that have some financial difficulty and have to move back to the wife’s childhood home. The wife has a dark past - her parents were murdered in the home. The husband doesn’t know what happened. Once they move in, things begin to unravel.

No One Can Know, written by Kate Alice Marshall, is a fictional thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end! This book is about sisters Juliette, Emma, and Daphne, whose parents died when they were teenagers. After Emma has had some changes to the life she lives with her husband Nathan, they move back to the house that the girls grew up in, that she hasn’t been back in since the death of her parents. But moving back has her remembering parts of her unhappy past, and questioning what really happened, and if she is safe.
This book is told in different chapters from different points of view, and at different time periods. I enjoyed seeing different ways that the sisters cared for each other, and liked that the sisters seemed to be figuring things out during the book at the same time as the reader. This was my first book by this author, but it will not be my last! Thank you to NetGalley and to author and publisher of this book for an ALC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy.

I liked What Lies in the Woods and was not disappointed. This was just as twisty as the previous one. I’m kinda curious what the author will write next.

I was just getting deeper into the mystery/thriller genre as a reader when this author released 'What Lies in the Woods'. The reviews were mostly positive, and by all accounts, it was her breakout novel. For some reason, I never got around to reading it, but when NetGalley made this one available to me, I decided to dive in and was excited to do so. Unfortunately, 'No One Can Know' failed to launch for me. The protagonist was a very hard to grasp character, with no solid defining traits that grounded me in what she might or might do, say, or believe. In fact, I could say that about all the characters. They were shadowy and ill-defined, casting about sometimes almost irrationally, difficult to like or dislike, or care about at all and that for me is the kiss of death. When all else fails, I would at least like to hate a character. But no dice with that here. The dialogue was at times almost like filler ... furthering neither the plot, nor my sense of the characters. In short, I was disappointed by this book, and even 89% of the way in, considered not finishing it.

I can't cast aspersions on the author's ability to write, however. There were many clever turns of phrase and vividly descriptive moments, but the book in its entirety felt like a great first draft that either needed more time to be polished, or a better editor to help shape it. The labyrinth of clues were exhausting rather than intriguing and one entire character (a main one at that) felt unnecessary. I can't help but suspect that with the breakneck pace of publishing today, this one was rushed to release.

Audiobook Note: Karissa Vacker is a very talented voice actor. Her male voices are convincingly male, and she brings emotion to every line. Alas, even her excellent work did not make this an excellent audiobook experience.

Kate Alice Marshall's "No One Can Know" is a captivating journey into the heart of mystery and suspense, and the audiobook version brings its chilling narrative to life with expert precision.

Narrated with a sense of urgency and intrigue, the audiobook immerses listeners in a world of secrets and deception, where every twist and turn keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Marshall skillfully weaves together a tense and atmospheric narrative, creating a sense of unease that lingers throughout the book. The small-town setting adds to the claustrophobic atmosphere, as Emma navigates through a web of lies and deception to uncover the dark secrets hidden within her community.

With its expert narration and pulse-pounding plot, "No One Can Know" is a must-listen for fans of thrilling mysteries. Prepare to be enthralled from start to finish as you unravel the secrets hidden within its pages.

This was a blast! A clear homage to Shirley Jackson's WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE, a terrifying title that has always been one of my favorites! While the cover and premise had me thinking this would be a little bit more about the house (my favorite kind of book revolves around a bitchy house!) I loved the cat-and-mouse dynamic between this trio of naughty sisters who have spent decades covering for each other's dark secrets. The world was sturdy and the characters downright dirty. Kate Alice Marshall has delivered a damn compelling mystery with just enough heart racing to get the thriller fans hooked!

💭What I thought would happen:

Based on Kate’s prior works I ain’t getting answers until the bitter end and good luck figuring it out😂

📖What actually happens:

Emma and her sisters have cleaned up all the blood and any indication that they were in the house when their parents were murdered.

Fast forward to when they’re adults. The sisters no longer talk but still own the murder property. Emma’s husband has lost his job and the best option is to live in Emma’s old house for a bit. The second they get there they realize the community never forgot and has yet to forgive.

🗯Thoughts/sassy musings:

Wow! Kate always writes a wild ride and this one is no different. I will say this one had my full attention until about 75% in where everything went to hell in a hand basket…

I will continue to fangirl for my homegirl’s thrillers. They are everything I need to break up the steamy romances.

Why am I picturing the flashbacks in like 1912 like they’re all dressed like characters in Titanic 😂 have you ever logically known you were way off with your imagination while reading?! For clarity it’s the late 80s 🪦

I absolutely loved this author's previous book.What Lies in The Woods so I was so excited to receive an early copy of her newest book No One Can Know. I absolutely loved this one and thought the writing was brilliant and beautiful. Kate Alice Marshall is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine, and I look forward to reading her next book!

As far as the audiobook goes, I absolutely loved it!

Karissa Vacker -- omg Karissa Vacker 😍 She is my VERY favorite audiobook narrator, and she did a phenomenal job as usual! The story just comes alive when she's telling it, and is impossible to stop listening. Tbh I would probably watch to a live stream of paint drying on a wall if she was the one talking about it... just saying 😆

Thank you for my complimentary copy! I really appreciate it🙂

Started off a bit slow and I wasn‘t too sure about it, but man did it pick up and what a wild ride!I loved the past and present narration, it added to the intensity of trying to figure out what happened. I was often twisted up over who the true murderer was and I always appreciate that. I was happy that my prediction was correct, even if I was way off on how it went down (I just don't see how there is anyway to predict the how!).

This was such a good book! I loved the characters, and their story. The dialogue was realistic and enjoyable. I was very surprised by the ending!

Another chilling, emotional, disturbing, and fantastic read by author Kate Alice Marshall. Her books continue to amaze me as she does such an incredible job drawing readers in and lashing them about.

"No One Can Know" follows Emma, and her two sisters, as she returns to the home her parents were murdered in. A murder that was never solved, and the town believes she committed. As Emma starts pulling the threads, her life unravels in ways the reader didn't see coming. With an explosive tale of twists, Marshall does it again!
