No One Can Know is the second book I've read of Kate Alice Marshall's, and I enjoyed it even more than the first.
Emma, Juliette, Daphne - then and now.
The Palmer sisters lost their parents to a shooting in their childhood home while having a sleepover in their treehouse.
The town of Arden Hills, in residents' collective minds, suspected Emma was guilty.
When Emma returns to the stately home with (repellent, yuck) husband Nathan, secrets will not stay in the past.
This is one of those thrillers where I suspected everyone at one time or another, but the reveals still ended up being twisty and surprising.
Recommended!

opening the story with a double homicide was the perfect way to draw readers in!! it gave us just enough information to be suspicious, but not enough to give anything away. and it introduced us to the three sisters, emma, juliette and daphne, in a big way.
the mystery surrounding what happened to the sisters in the past unfolded at a fantastic pace. the flashbacks gave us just another tidbit of information to keep the reader guessing before immediately switching back to present day to jolt the reader out of thinking too much!
the main twists, yes there’s multiple, at the end, however, ended up being slightly predictable. the problem with a small town setting is that the number of suspects is smaller than most - and because of that, I was able to narrow down who the culprit was pretty easily.
nonetheless, this story was so fast-paced and addicting!! 🫡 I seriously could not put it down even though it was 2am and I really needed sleep lol
thank you to netgalley and flat iron books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!
