No One Needs to Know

By: Kevin O'Brien

Narrated by: Jonathan Yen

In July 1970, actress Elaina Styles was slain in her rented Seattle mansion along with her husband and their son's nanny. When the baby's remains were found buried in a shallow grave close to a hippie commune, police moved in - only to find all its members already dead in a grisly mass suicide. Now, decades later, a film about the murders is shooting at the mansion. On-set caterer Laurie Trotter ignores gossip that the production is cursed. But then people start dying.... As Laurie digs deeper into what happened all those years ago, she discovers that the truth is more twisted than any whispered rumor, as a legacy of brutal vengeance reaches its terrifying climax.

sheesh! I wouldn't have guessed

amazing. just amazing. thank you. what a great book. couldn't stop listening. next. 😁 😁 😁

Three things going on at once, but somehow they all came together

This book was exciting and the twist at the end was great. Great storyline and an easy listen

This isn't my favorite from this author

Admittedly, I haven't finished yet. It is good enough to continue to the end. But the story of the murders in the synopsis doesn't happen until about twelve chapters into the story, So far I am amazingly annoyed by the main character. She continues to be honest with someone she clearly doesn't trust. She doesn't act when she is clearly in danger. She tolerates more risk than necessary. Maybe this will get better as the story goes on. But so far, while the main character is sympathetic, I find myself screaming in mind, "OMG! Don't do that!". It reminds me in some ways of the last girl trope - only she's a little stupid..

HOLY PLOT TWIST!

Kevin O'Brien has a unique and interesting way of psychologically terrorizing listeners and his characters. His writing may be too long for some, but to get the plot and backstory into play, it is necessary. He is my new favorite author! I've listened to this book in one day - it was that good!

Another great story!

I started listening to these just because I live in Kittitas Co WA!! It's so fun to hear the names of so many places we're familiar with. Could you throw my little hometown of Thorp in one maybe? I'll be listening for sure. Love the twists and turns.
