Synopsis

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 ("Highly recommended [for fans of] authors like Jodi Picoult and Jacquelyn Mitchard."-Library Journal [starred review]), 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.

Praise for No One You Know

"Michelle Richmond's encore to The Year of Fog is an equally addictive read."-****Denver Post "Richmond sets out to create not a straight-up thriller, but a novel that explores love, family, work, guilt and the responsibility of the writer to his or her subject, all within the framework of a murder mystery."-****San Francisco Chronicle "Michelle Richmond never strikes a false note in No One You Know. . . . It's an intelligent, emotionally convincing tale about a family tragedy and the process of storytelling."-Boston Globe

"As complex and beautiful as a mathematical proof, this gripping, thought-provoking novel will keep you thinking long after the last page has been turned."-Family Circle

"Beautifully written"-Seattle Times
