This was my first Alice Kate Marshal and I really like her style.
I received the audio book from NetGalley, and don’t often listen to audio books but I enjoyed this one a lot.
This story is multiple POVs in two different time lines.
3 sisters lost their parents one night as teens. Now one sister has to go back to the house where it all happened, and things start to unravel.
There are lots of twists and turns and everything is wrapped up nicely at the end. The narrator did a great job, even with the male voices and I will for sure be recommending this in book and audio form.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall (audio book) is one eerie murder mystery! I thought the narrator Karissa Vacker did a marvelous job giving each character their own voice. The characters were interesting, and the story was very engaging, and a little creepy. I stayed up until 3:00a.m. listening to it. I really enjoyed the audio book.

Kate Alice Marshall delivers another twisty mystery. No One Can Know has incredible characters. Five stars.

No One Can Know is Kate Alice Marshall’s latest psychological thriller. With multiple victims and a seemingly endless list of suspects, the tension starts building from the very first page.

The story unfolds via multiple points of view over dual timelines. Emma and her sisters, Juliette and Daphne, have been estranged since their parents were found dead in their family home. Emma is the most likely suspect. When she returns to her childhood home with her husband amid their own relationship issues, old questions arise and secrets begin to unravel.

Some parts of the book feel a bit drawn out, but the excellent narration keeps the story moving and holds the listener’s attention. The author does a good job of bringing the pieces of this complex story together to a satisfying conclusion.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC in exchange for my unbiased review.

Great narration. I did not like a single guy in this book but loved getting to know the sisters and diving into their secrets. Entertaining, quick listen. Love, love when the last few chapters lay out so many secrets. Good mystery book.

n Kate Alice Marshall's second adult novel she once again has a twisty tale of broken people seeking the truth that they are keeping mostly from themselves. She has a knack for writing characters that you can relate to. Even though there were twists and turns, I had a inkling of who had committed the murders. There were a few loose ends that I hadn't seen the solution to coming. Everything made sense in the very end. This was a solid thriller from an author that has started in the adult thriller category. Eagerly waiting for more.

Book 4 stars
Narrator 5 stars

This was a good read! I was already a fan of KAM after what lies in the woods, and this is another I would recommend. My only complaint is it’s written in third person POV, which I personally prefer first.

Three sisters are separated after their parents are murdered in their home. Years later, one sister and her husband are forced to move back into the home due to financial issues and the girls are reconnected.

Would recommend if you liked Not A Happy Family or The Overnight Guest.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for my advanced copy!

Oh my goodness, this was so twisty and so good! I really loved Emma which had me rooting for her name to be cleared. I never expected it to end the way it did. I loved Marshall’s first book, but this was even better! Sometimes when books have tons of characters they can seem half baked, but these characters were all well written and dynamic

This is my second book by Kate Alice Marshall, and now I will forever read whatever she writes. Her books are suspenseful and bingey and I adore them.

Short Synopsis:
Emma returns home for the first time. She’s jobless, homeless and pregnant. And has no other options than to return to the mansion that she grew up in. Oh, but it’s also the place her parents were murdered. And oh yeah, she’s the police number one suspect, they just never found proof.

My Thoughts:
This was such a fun thriller from cover to cover. I loved uncovering the secrets and trying to figure whodunnit.

When I saw my favorite thriller audiobook narrator, @karissavacker, was the narrator for this one, I knew audio was the way to go. And Karissa as always, killed this one.

Emma has a complicated and harrowing past-- her parents are dead, and she is estranged from her two sisters. When faced with financial troubles, she and her husband decide to move into her childhood home, where they will settle and raise the child she is newly pregnant with. However, her family history and secrets begin to surface, including that this mansion is the location of her parents' deaths. Told through past and present timelines, the reader is led down a windy path as to the events surrounding Emma's parents' deaths. Emma and her sisters never have spoken about what actually happened that night, but there are plenty of theories floating around. You will be left on the edge of your seat as you wait to discover the truth.

Karissa Vacker is one of my favorite thriller narrators, and she nailed it with this one. I continue to enjoy Kate Alice Marshall's work, and this kept my attention from start to finish. Thriller readers should absolutely pick this one up!

3.5 stars

Sibling drama? Sign me up!

Prospective readers should take this title as far as possible: the characters can't know, and neither can you...for a long time. The good news is that the journey is still mostly pleasurable if a bit drawn out at times.

Emma, Juliette (aka JJ), and Daphne are sisters who have really challenging parents, to put it mildly, and so when their parents are murdered, each one of them is shaken but also apparently relieved. Readers will get enough insight into some of their experiences to find this otherwise terrible thought pretty understandable. What's striking about their situation is that there are many assumptions about what happened but no clear answers. Each one of the girls seems a likely suspect, but one stands out among the rest: Emma, who through unfortunate circumstances, must return with her husband and kid on the way to the hellhole where she was raised and last saw her parents' dead bodies. When Emma returns, her sisters resurface, more drama ensues, and folks finally have to start sharing some more info.

I did enjoy this read, but getting to the answers takes longer than I'd have liked. With more developed characters, this may not have been so noticeable, but there are some challenges on that front, too. This is a solid mystery/thriller overall, and I'm looking forward to more from this author.

***Having read the arc and listened to the alc, I want to recommend the alc. The narration adds a lot!

Thank you Netgalley and Flatiron books for the ARC audiobook!
Synopsis: Told in past and present timelines, and multiple POVs, No one can know, is a story about 3 sisters, 2 murders, and too many secrets to count.
My thoughts: First things first, the audio narration was so well done by the incredible Karissa Vacker! I definitely felt it redeemed the story for me and helped increase my rating a good bit! It started off really strong. The suspense, unreliable characters, lies, and secrets made for a gripping story but in the end it fell flat for me. There was lootttss of build-up and the pacing was kind of all over the place. At one moment, the story felt repetitive and slow then the next, it was rushed with twists being thrown out every which way. It was hard to keep everything straight and I’m still a little lost on a few on the sub plots😅

This was a twisty mystery that I never could quite solve. Everytime I thought I had it figured out, some new secret would be revealed. The author did a nice job of entwining the past and the present. I thought the resolution was a bit rushed. The characters were well written and the main characters were well developed. I despised Nathan from the beginning and was rooting for Emma.

Thank you to Kate Alice Marshall, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to an advanced copy of this audiobook! The sound quality was excellent, and the narrator, Karissa Vacker, was pleasant to listen to.

Wow. Twists upon twists and then one huge final turn. I loved this on audio because I felt so immersed in the mystery. It was me, Emma, Juliette, and Daphne (and yes, it was very strange for me because my name is also Emma) back at their childhood house and amongst all of the secrets and history that come with it. From the start, you could tell that the narrators were all unreliable. They lie and lie until suddenly the truth comes out. I'm still a little lost on a few of the subplots, but was ultimately satisfied with the final REAL ending. Also Nathan sucks.

3.5/5
Thank you, Netgalley, for the ALC of this book. I did really enjoy the journey of this book. There were many characters and dual timelines, but I was able to keep everyone and everything straight for the most part. Even while just listening.

Emma is married and expecting her first child when her husband loses his job and they are forced to live in her childhood home.

Most of this book was entertaining, even if it was a little predictable. I didn't really care for the ending, but it was a fine ending for the story. All in all, it was entertaining at the time but not an all-time favorite.

I loved this! Different from thrillers I’ve read recently. The narrators were great and I didn’t want to stop listening!

⭐️3.5 Dead: two wealthy parents. Alive: three sisters living separate lives and completely estranged. The case has gone cold, but ONE sister just seems like the likely murderer…

It was slow in some places, but still kept my interest.

I thought I knew who did it, but then I didn’t. At one point I had to replay audio after thinking wait, WHAT???

Kate Alice Marshall has a way of storytelling that has me going back-and-forth on liking and hating the characters…which kept me guessing…

Buckle up and hold on tight because I have a thrilling story to tell you! It's about three estranged sisters, two murders, and a ton of secrets. Are you ready?!

Nathan and Emma thought they were already dealing with enough—losing their savings, Nathan getting laid off, Emma finding out she’s pregnant and having to move out of their apartment—but little did they know, things were about to get a whole lot crazier.

You see, Emma hasn't shared all of her past with Nathan and for good reason. The family home that she and her sisters co-own is filled with terrible memories of her parent's murders. It's been unoccupied since that awful event, but Nathan wants to move in and Emma is terrified at the thought.

But that's not even the half of it! This intense and creepy tale will have you on the edge of your seat, thanks to the amazing narration by Karissa Vacker. Trust me, you won't be a,ble to stop listening!


This author is new to me and you should check her out if you haven’t already.

A big thanks to Macmillan Audio for providing this complimentary ARC through NetGalley. All opinions are my own and I'm sharing them voluntarily because this story is just that good!

I was very excited about this one. It felt similar to What Lies in the Woods-- something tragic happens, MCs don't talk about it for years, let's come together and finally talk and solve the mystery. Either way, No One Can Know is a fast-paced mystery that'll keep you guessing until the very end. TBH, there were so many twists that I'm not sure even I know what happened. I found myself having to re-read sections to make sure I understood what was going on.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Expected publication date of January 23, 2024

Told in three sisters points of view each with a “then” and a “now.” You know something happened the night the parents were murdered and all the sisters have vowed secrecy about that night but what happened and who did what? This book kept me up wondering what in the world happened that night. The ending got a little too much for me but still kept me up to finish it.
