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.

Great Book

I personally loved this book and the ending was surprising & not at all what I expected.

Not a favorite by this author

I have loved Kevin O'Brien books, but this one is a bit hard to follow at times with too many different, but converging storylines and is really long winded because of that I guess. It's still interesting and was worth finishing.

all the twist

love how the story all comes together by the end of the book! he is a great writer!

Excellent plot with myriad turns

With multiple, but not immediately obvious, intertwining plots , the author keeps listeners engaged. Satisfying conclusion

sheesh! I wouldn't have guessed

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

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.

Sepentine, satisfying suspence with a heart

Another excellent, twisty, highly listenable effort from Kevin O'Brien. The fact that it was it's included in the plus catalog was a nice bonus.

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..

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
