No One Can Know: A Novel

by Kate Alice Marshall

Fourteen years ago, the Palmer sisters - Emma, Juliette, and Daphne - left their home in Arden Hills and never returned. But when Emma discovers that she's pregnant and her husband loses his job, she has no option but to return to the house that she and her estranged sisters still own - and where their parents were murdered.

Emma has never told anyone what she saw the night her parents died, even when she became the prime suspect. But as her presence in the house threatens to uncover secrets that have stayed hidden for years, the sisters are drawn together once again. And Emma begins to wonder just what her siblings will do to keep the past buried, and whether she did the right thing staying quiet about what was whispered that night.

Book Summary:

Emma has tried her very best to keep her past where it belongs – in her past. Even her husband doesn't know much about her history beyond the fact that her parents are dead and she's estranged from her sisters.

Unfortunately, the two of them have hit a financial bump, which means leaning on Emma's past a bit. More specifically, it means moving back into the family home. The scene of the crime is the one place Emma never wanted to return to.

My Review:

Whew! If you're looking for a book full of twists and turns, No One Can Know is the book for you. This book had me on the edge of my seat, and it seemed like every time I was ready to make a guess, something major changed.

The characters are absolutely a highlight of this novel – the good and the bad. They're so well-written, even the ones readers will love to hate. It made it even more challenging to suss out the truth between their lies.

No One Can Know is one of those thrillers with a layered ending. Ironically, I think I liked the original ending better. It had a more satisfying conclusion. Then again, the official ending makes you stop and think...
