literary gluttony

Emma hasn’t been home in ages. She hasn’t talked to her sisters in 14 years. Not since the night her parents were murdered at their home. But now, Emma and her husband, Nathan, find themselves in need of a place to stay. It’s time to go back home. But doing so raises old suspicions, unanswered questions, and the possibility of having to speak with her sisters. When the town starts asking questions, the past doesn’t stay in the past, and someone has to answer for what happened all those years ago.

No One Can Know is an immersive mystery/thriller that will have you turning pages long into the night. Kate Alice Marshall creates characters that keep changing. Each chapter shed a little more light on the sisters as well as the husband, and the victims of the murder 14 years ago. I found myself wanting to know more and never really being quite sure of who actually murdered their parents.

The read was enjoyable. However, I felt that the last few chapters were chaotic and haphazard. It felt as if the author was throwing every twist and turn known to man in order to throw the reader off any trail. There was a lot going on and information poured in from every which way. Once you figured out who actually murdered the parents, it was almost a letdown in a way because of all of the other questions that were being asked and answered rapidly. Aside from that, I did enjoy the book and the writing.
