This started out strong but dragged in the middle with the ending feeling rushed. I wanted more and less at the same time.

The story is told from multiple POVs and a past and present timeline. Karissa Vacker is the narrator and brought the characters to life. She has such amazing tone, and does an incredible job with both female and male voices. There are so many secrets, twists, and family drama throughout the storyline. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and I do wish they were developed a bit further. The first half was a bit slow, but really picked up. I enjoyed seeing all the pieces come together and the ending really surprised me!

This was really good! Every single time I thought I figured out the who done it, another surprise was thrown in to throw me off and reconsider who I thought was behind all this.
I loved the sisters POVs from then and now and the things they kept from each other to protect one another.
Then just when you think it all wrapped up neat and tidy we get one more reveal. And I'll say that's the one I'd been waiting for the whole time. So I loved that ending.

I had really enjoyed Kate Alice Marshall's previous novel and I found this one to be very similar in spirit to that one as both relate to decisions made by teenagers re-surfacing later in life. I thought this was a quick read/listen and thought the narrator did an excellent job. The POVs and timelines alternate a bit but I thought the audiobook easy to listen to.
Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio for the ALC.

No One Can Know starts with a bang right from the get-go and doesn't let up until the final chapter.
I absolutely loved K.A.M.'s (adult) debut and was very excited to read this. I thought it definitely lived up to the hype for me.
These sisters are twisted for sure. I loved both timelines but the past was my favourite.
It was heartbreaking to read everything the girls went through with their parents that made them into the women they are in the present timeline. I also really loved the ending for Emma, JJ and Daphne. Regardless of what happened they stuck together in the end and love each-other fiercely.

My only criticism is these ladies sure do "wetted" their lips a lot 😂

🎧📖 note: Karissa Vacker is perfect as usual. She's 100% one of the best.

Thank you, Macmillan Audio for this advance copy in exchange for my review.

This thriller takes you through a journey with three sisters, two murders, and a ton of secrets, and overall I liked this book. The aspects of this book I enjoyed were: the flashback to the murders at the very beginning, the three sisters' POVs with dual timelines, and the narrator of the audiobook. The part I did not love was the second tragedy that happens in the middle of the book. It felt far fetched and unnecessary, in my opinion.

I had the pleasure of listening to No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall in advance of its publication.

I am pretty sure this is the first book I have read/listened to by this author, and let me tell you, what a ride!

I am a huge fan of the narrator Karissa Vacker. She earns a 10/10 in my book!

No One Can Know follows three sisters from their teen years through young adulthood. Oh, my goodness! There were so many twists and turns, and the author had me on the edge of my seat.

I don't want to put any spoilers out there. Just read it! Or listen to it!

I don't like "scary" and there were a couple parts that I kind of tuned out, but for the most part, it was a suspenseful, whodunnit.

I finished the listen in just a couple days, even staying up late, wanting to know who did it.

I highly recommend No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the advanced listen in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I went into this book blind and couldn’t stop listening. It was living in my head for days before I had a chance to finish it. I honestly couldn’t wait to finish listening to it. The book had me on the edge of my seat guessing till the end. I didn’t even see any of ending the way it did. Very well done. You won’t be disappointed. The narrator draws you right in. This is one book you won’t want to miss.
Many thanks to Netgalley & Macmillan Audio for the ARC

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book.

This book followed 3 sisters all dealing with their own demons stemmed from their upbringing and their parents’ death. They all have very distinct personalities and it was interesting to see all of their POVs, past and present. Emma was my favorite sister while reading, but I also understood JJ and Daphne. The mystery was well paced and the reveal was good. There was something I was able to guess, and I loved.

I feel like as compelled as I was to find out the main mystery resolution this was a little slow moving overall. I did like how I didn't completely guess the ending but overall not my favorite. I did like the narrator.

3⭐️. I really wanted to love this book, the beginning started off really good but overall fell a little flat. A whodunnit premise about who murdered the parents of 3 estranged sisters 14 years earlier as one of the sisters is forced to move back into the home her parents were killed in. The story is told from all 3 sister’s POV and dual timeline of past and now. The problem was it got really slow in the middle and a bit repetitive, I think it is a little too long or more could have happened. The ending was like the author threw everything and the kitchen sink at the twists, it was a lot. I didn’t walk away with this book with any sense of awe, just a shrug that it ended and happy to have gotten the answers that I stopped trying to guess throughout the book.

I have a feeling this will still take off in the book world and have many readers ready to scoop this up. It is an easy binge. I finished the audio in 2 sittings, 1.75x. It felt similar to What Lies in the Woods, good premise but also ended just above ok. The audio narrator was great and kept me very engaged throughout the entire book, I would recommend the audio if you do pick this up.

Thank you to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio, Flatiron Books, and Kate Alice Marshall for an advanced audio copy in exchange for my honest review.

No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall is a twisty book about three sisters who grew up in the same house (with awful, awful parents), but even though they all left home, they never truly grew out of it. I absolutely loved getting to experience this story from each sister's POV, and Karissa did a brilliant job voicing all three of them. Marshall is a beautiful writer, and this book had me completely captivated. Highly recommend!!!

The plot didn’t work for me personally but gosh darn it can Karissa Vacker narrate a book! Vacker’s performance was incredible and her storytelling had me engrossed in a book that I otherwise would have found pretty mediocre. While I felt pretty underwhelmed by the book itself I can highly recommend the audiobook format!

Kate Alice Marshall sure has a way of writing about young women who are good liars. In the follow up to her adult debut, No One Can Know also features a trio of women in a past and present scenario and also centers around lies from the past being dragged back up. Emma and her husband Nate must return to her childhood home after some financial troubles, and with this move, Nate learns a lot of secrets Emma had been keeping from him. Including the fact that both of her parents were murdered in this house and much of the town thought she was their killer. After the murders, Emma was estranged from both of her sisters, older sister Juliette and younger sister, Daphne. Told from the perspective of all three sisters in both the past and the present, this fast paced thriller slowly sheds light on what happened to the Palmer parents all those years ago, and how their childhood has shaped the sisters into who they are today.

I really enjoyed Marshall’s last novel, What Lies in the Woods so couldn’t pass up the early opportunity to read this through bookofthemonth . I read 14 chapters and then got approved for the audio 🙌🏻 with Karissa Vacker narrating. Obviously I switched immediately and she crushed it as always!

I thought the POV’s from the three sisters were done really well. Having flashback from each not only kept me guessing but helped me connect to each of them. Finding sympathy, similarities, or appreciation for characters always makes me like a book more and Marshall succeeded in that. She also threw so many twists and turns in my neck is still hurting. 😂 I was right in a few of my hunches but at no point did I confidently know who did it. It was an excellent ride!

Big thanks to Macmillan Audio for the alc via Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

“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!

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Karissa Vacker, who is one of my favorite narrators. As always, she did an excellent job voicing a variety of characters and bringing the story to life. I love how she really sets the tone, creating tension and suspense. I will listen to anything she narrates!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC that comes out late January!

I loved this author's last book, and this is no different! I did do this on audio, and it had one of my favorite narrators, Karissa Vacker. That woman could read me a text book, I don't care.

This book lived up to its twisty hype and I enjoyed the ride of trying to figure out what the REAL truth was!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
Amazing audiobook. Great narrator and well written.
Perfect mystery and creepy old house atmosphere.
I enjoyed Marshall’s other book and this was just as good.

“You have to let go of the past to move into the future, right?”

Three sisters. Two murdered parents. A town rattled by the crime and desperate for someone to blame.

I really really enjoyed this one! If you have a sister, or multiple sisters, you will more than likely find yourself understanding and nodding along at the lengths these women did and will go to protect each other. That sister dynamic is something special as you are the only ones that know what it is like to be raised in your house.

This book is told from multiple POV and in the dual timelines of Now and Then. The twists have twists and kept me guessing to the very end.

The audiobook, as expected as it is narrated by the fantastic Karissa Vacker, is fabulous! This is a fast paced thriller with a lot of raw emotion, hurt, and fear and she captures it all expertly. I was so engrossed in this story and could not wait to see how it all played out.

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC.

No One Can Know gripped me from the start.

The story dives into the pasts of the flawed and possibly dangerous Palmer sisters, whose parents were murdered when they were teenagers.

The pacing was fantastic. Moments of psychological suspense and tension alternated with new revelations and plot twists at a breakneck speed.

I love thrillers on audio, and No One Can Know was a great pick for this format. The talented narrator easily slipped into the different characters' voices.

Read this if you liked Dark Places or What Lies in the Woods.
