Book Summary
All her life Ellie Enderlin had been known as Lila's sister—until the day Lila, a top math student at Stanford, was murdered, and the shape of their family changed forever. Twenty years later, Ellie is a professional coffee buyer who has never put down roots. When, in a chance meeting, she comes into possession of the notebook that Lila carried everywhere, Ellie returns home to finally discover the truth about her sister's death—a search that will lead her to Lila’s secret lover, to the motives and fate of a man who profited from their family's grief, and ultimately to the deepest secrets even sisters keep from each other.

From the bestselling author of The Year of Fog , this is a riveting family drama about loss, love, and the way hope redefines our lives—a novel at once heartbreaking, provocative, and impossible to put down.
Book Reviews:
"Vivid descriptions and loving explanations of the city and intelligent forays into the sciences of coffee and mathematics enhance Richmond's quietly captivating novel." - Publishers Weekly

"This thoughtful, gripping page-turner grabs the reader's attention from the first chapter. Recommended for all public libraries." - Library Journal

"Starred Review. Combine all that with perfect pacing and depth of insight, and you have a thoroughly riveting literary thriller." - Booklist

"Thoughtful, involving, intricately constructed, and well written … Michelle Richmond never strikes a false note in No One You Know, her third novel. It's an intelligent, emotionally convincing tale about a family tragedy and the process of storytelling." - Boston Globe
