Fourteen years ago, the Palmer sisters—Emma, Juliette, and Daphne—left their home in Arden Hills and never returned. But when Emma discovers 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 her presence in the house threatens to uncover secrets that have stayed hidden for years, and the sisters are drawn together once again. As they face their memories of the past, rivalries restart, connections are forged, and, for the first time, Emma starts to ask questions about what really happened that night.
The more Emma learns, the more riddles emerge. 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: “No one can know.”

I think the three sisters were interesting characters, especially in the past perspectives, and I liked the flashback chapters to understand what their home life was like as children and how their parents treated them. Their home life was really sad and abusive, but I found that past timeline more interesting than the present timeline of trying to uncover the secrets of what happened many years ago. The ending and resolution to the mystery had a lot going on, and I thought the ending was pretty average.
I would still recommend for those who love thrillers where the character returns to their hometown and past secrets are being uncovered.
Thanks to Netgalley and Flatiron Books for an early copy in exchange for a review!
This one was really hard to rate. It started off SO SLOW. I almost DNF'd it a handful of times because I didn't know if it was worth it. It took over 200 pages for it to actually start getting interesting. I also guessed the killer the entire book. I knew who it was. Even with the fake twist I still knew who it was the whole time. The last 100ish pages did keep me glued and I liked that they tried to do a twist within a twist, I would have rated it higher if I didn't know the killer the whole time. But I just can't rate it higher because of how slow the burn was.
4.5 stars!!!
FINALLY A BOOK I LOVED!!! it's been months since i rated so highly and i was starting to think it was a me problem. this book proved that it's actually just what i'm reading. i loved so much about this book and the only thing that brought it down HALF A STAR was the grand reveal at the end. there were so so many red herrings in this book that i literally had no idea who actually killed the main characters' parents and everything i guessed was totally wrong
4.5 stars, rounded down. The twists and turns in this until the very last page.
Sooo good!
