I really enjoyed the pacing of the book and found it to be very entertaining. This is my third read by the author and I can't wait to read more of her work in the future!I have also read Kate Alice Marshall’s What Lies in the Woods and Our Last Echoes. Both were 4 star reads for me.

Read this one in 24 hrs. I love a good book about secrets, murder and family. This has all that and a bit more. I had figured out what had probably happened half way through the book, but it still left some twist and turns for me to explore. This was the first book I had read from the author, but definitely not the last.

No One Can Knowby Kate Alice Marshall4/5 ⭐️Emma has put her past behind her. She does not like to think about what happened 14 years ago. She hasn’t even talked to her sisters about it. She definitely hasn’t told her husband, Nathan, how she found her parents murdered in their home. So when Nathan loses his job and Emma discovers she is pregnant, the truth must be revealed.With funds dwindling and nowhere to live, the couple returns to the residence. By coming home, Emma knows secrets and accusations will surface. She must face her sisters and the town that thought she could be the killer.Something does not seem right as Emma settles into the house and memories return to her. Danger lingers in the air as Emma is determined to solve the case of her parent’s murders once and for all.No One Can Know hooked me from the beginning. The unreliable characters and dual timelines created a zig-zag suspense. This book is very fast-paced and entertaining. Although about 3/4 of the way into the book, the family drama dominates the mystery. The ending wrapped up 99% of the mystery, leaving me with some questions. If you are looking for a twisty thriller with questionable characters, this book is for you.

The story line was good, The back and forward between past and present was a bit much. Overall it was a good a book.

This book had me guessing…then second guessing…..third guessing….and on and on! There were so many twists I didn’t know which way was up! I could NOT put this one down! Such a great story with surprises and shockers all over the place. Definitely recommend
