I suspected the culprit from fairly early on in the story, but it didn't feel predictable as it was more of a gut feeling than anything, and even with my suspicions, I still fell for one big red herring hard — enough so that, when the reveal happened, I was somehow surprised despite having guessed it so early on. 😂 That might have made more sense in my head than it does on paper, but it's true!
I really enjoyed the different POVs of all three sisters, but JJ was definitely my favorite. I just loved her perspective, and some of the reveals about her past broke my heart! 10/10 would root for these women again.
I read a final copy borrowed from the library, but for the sake of disclosure, I was also given an early review copy. All thoughts are honest and my own.

No One Can Know follows three sisters who return to their childhood home-the place where their parents were murdered and where they promised each other “no one can know”. The novel jumps between past and present from each sisters POV to trace the evens of what really happened that night. With a town that blames the sisters for the death, Marshall adds plenty of twists that keep you second guessing the truth. Although the book is based on a gruesome murder, it follows the larger issue of child abuse and it’s affects.
Interesting, quick ready to keep you entertained.
I suggest reading the CW before jumping in.
