Kate Alice Marshall is officially an auto-buy author for me now. This book was so good! The dual timelines were used perfectly and I love how twisty the ending was. I stayed up late last night to finish it and I have no regrets. Marshall is a master storyteller! The narration was great.

I would read a phone directory if Kate Alice Marshall wrote it, and “No One Can Know” is not a phone book. It is a suspenseful, time skipping, slowly unfolding story of three sisters covering for a crime one of them may or may not have committed, and how the repercussions of “no one knowing” (including each other) follow them for the rest of their lives.

I love sister stories and I love how you slowly learn more and more through each unreliable narrator… right up until the very last page.

Thank you NetGalley for this opportunity to read and review, my only regret is now I have to wait THAT MUCH LONGER for the next KAM book.

Kate Alice Marshall’s ya writing is GREAT, but the adult books are always top notch!

This was so twisty and turny and I audibly gasped MULTIPLE times while reading it. The suspense in this was paced so perfectly and the reveals unveiled at just the right times.

This follows three sisters who know we’re home the night their parents were gunned down. All three of them decided that when it comes to that night, no one can know…

Now, in present day, Emma, the one who was blamed most (though never charged) for their deaths, must move back to their childhood home with her husband Nathan. She doesn’t talk to her sisters anymore, but being back draws them all together once again.

To track down the truth about what happened that night, we get a mix of past and present from all three sisters and I enjoyed each timeline and pov equally!

There is deceit, abuse, infidelity and tons of murdery goodness in this lightning speed thrill ride of a book!

Sinister sisters or virtuous victims? Told in dual timelines NO ONE CAN KNOW follows three sisters in the aftermath of their parents murder. The crime goes unsolved and the sisters become estranged until years later, the middle sister returns to the family home.

KATE ALICE MARSHALL explores familial loyalty, decades-long secrets, and the consequences of incomplete memories and assumptions. I enjoyed the slow burn with a twisty payoff in the last quarter of the book and think suspense fans will too!

Karissa Vacker always dials up the tension with her audiobook narration, and this story was no different. She is one of my all time favorite narrators for the thriller genre.

Read this if:
-A cold case hooks you every time
-You enjoy small-town mysteries
-Complicated sister dynamics draw you in

PUB DATE: January 23, 2024
RATING: 4/5

I loved this! There were a number of twists, so even though I solved the mystery almost right away I could never be completely sure and so it never got boring.

This isn’t fast-paced until the end, but the pace works perfectly for the story. It starts slow and then builds and builds, giving plenty of room for delightful character development. The sisters were so fun to get to know!

Fans of character-driven narratives, dysfunctional families, sister dynamics (think Little Women but deranged), and untrustworthy narrators will eat this up!

Thanks, NetGalley and Flatiron Books, for the gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review.
