Noelle Marshall #2
No One Knew
For a detective and an FBI agent, two seemingly disparate murder investigations collide with a twist in an explosive novel of suspense by a
Wall Street Journal
bestselling author.
In the crisp mountain air of central Oregon, a teenage girl’s search for discarded cans leads to a horrifying a body, brutally murdered and abandoned in the woods. The case falls to Deschutes County Detective Noelle Marshall, who finds herself navigating a community steeped in secrets, suspicion, and distrust of outsiders—especially law enforcement.
Miles away, FBI Special Agent Max Rhodes investigates a different kind of darkness—chatter about a violent uprising from a shadowy militia group preparing for war. The two cases seem worlds apart. But as Noelle digs into the murdered man’s past and Max closes in on the source of the terror plot, their paths begin to converge in a terrifying way. This was no random killing. It was a message. A merciless killer and a hidden army are operating in the same shadows, and finding the link between them is the only thing standing between a single murder and a full-blown massacre.

Noelle and Max work well together, and clearly there’s more to their “professional” relationship, while their budding romance grows. I loved these two.
A body is found by an 18 year old girl, and once people start to take notice of her, something is not right at home. The biggest shine of this book is how these people rally to support this girl, Emma. I might add, Cornbread (the cat) stole a bit of the show.
There is a lot going on in this book, terrorism cult end of the world type stuff. Some intense moments, but not many that made my heart race. I think the story pulled me in more than the mystery thriller aspect but I still enjoyed it.

Kendra Elliott is a master at writing exciting stories! I've read all the books about Mercy Kilpatrick and hope there will be more! Even in this story we have Mercy and her husband Truman woven in.
Noelle has bought a large house outside Eagle’s Nest. She works as a Sheriff's detective for Deschutes county. She's only been seeing Max for a few weeks and doesn't call him a boyfriend yet. Max is an FBI agent also working in Bend.
Noelle's called out when a young woman finds a dead body in the forest. Emma was collecting cans to get money for food. The body was in an area where young people party.
While Noelle and her partner work on figuring out who the dead guy is, Max and his partner Mercy are looking into chatter about a militia group planning something in Oregon.
Noelle soon finds out that Emma doesn't know where her dad is. It's unclear how long he's been gone. Emma tells her that she's been told to not talk with the police. She reluctantly tells Noelle that two guys had come looking for her that night. She had fled to her dad's friend uncle Tommy.
A car bomb goes off and they are all busy! Noelle finds a voice mail from Emma, hours after she had left it! She'd heard one of the guys who broke into her house, talking with Tommy. What he said scared her!
Noelle and Max go to talk with Emma but both Emma and Tommy are gone!
There was a lot going on in this book and as usual it kept me up far too late! I can't wait to read the next book! The books by Kendra Elliott are free to read and listen to if you have Kindle unlimited :)

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Kendra Elliot books build the relationship, and I have come to love how the characters, Max and Noelle, have their hot attraction, but it doesn't detract from a great mystery/suspense. Each have their own baggage and some issues that prevent them from being fully immersed in each other. But, for Max, solving the case may require reveling things that he may not be ready for Noelle to know. This growing relationship between Max and Noelle takes a back seat to the fantastic mystery/suspense plot. This book joins a rare selection of books that I just couldn't put down and turn off when I turned off the lights. Yep, I reached that sweet point in the book where you just have to finish it because you just have to know how it ends. Well, I found out at 2:00 am this morning, but I'm not going to tell you. I'll let you discover that for yourself. I will say this much - this book is more suspense than romance, but the romance was wonderful to see unfold.
Deschutes County Detective Noelle Marshall and FBI Special Agent Max Rhodes are in a new, budding relationship and now they have cases that cross. When a nude man is discovered by a young woman at a teen party spot deep in the forest, Noelle catches the case. She knows that there is more to Emma Chambers's story, but Noelle has a dead body with no ID, and he has to come first.
Max and the Bend FBI office have been alerted to chatter regarding a possible attack by an elusive militia group, then the car of a judge is blown up in the courthouse parking lot. A dead, nude man is discovered in the trunk. Turns out the cause of death in both cases is the same, linking them. With little to go on, Max and Noelle, with help from Mercy and Truman, start their investigation. The path glances off the elusive Emma and her life. They have no idea how she is involved, they just know she is.
My thanks to the Publisher, and Author, for providing a complimentary digital Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this novel via NetGalley. This is my fair, honest and personal review. All opinions are mine alone and were not biased in any way.

Audiobook
Several months after the events in Her First Mistake, Detective Noelle Marshall is back at her regular posting when a teen discovers a body in the woods. Several other bodies are found, and the link between the FBI's search into domestic terrorism shortens. Can the team solve the murders and stop whatever planned events will threaten the area?
Kendra Elliot writes another great entry into the new Noelle Marshall series featuring the lead series character Mercy Fitzpatrick. This can be read as a standalone, but I do suggest checking out Book 1 if possible. And there is a cat. Cats will always win books for me!

Another fantastic crime thriller from Kendra Elliot! I ate up the first book in this series and this one was no different. Right from the start I was hooked and found myself staying up way too late turning pages. A teenage girl out riding her bike one day looking for cans and bottles to return, stumbles upon a dead body. Detective Noelle Marshall is called to the scene and begins asking the girl some questions. Immediately this book made me feel something for these characters. I think Noelle is a badass, because let's be honest, she just is! But what I lover about her character is even though she is a detective and deals with some not so great characters and situations, the author has a way of making her very relatable and human beyond her badge. She instantly takes to this girl and you can tell the "mom" within her wants to come out, even though Noelle doesn't have any kids. My emotions were tugged!
Add in a little bit of romance with FBI agent Max Rhodes, yes please! Max and his partner Mercy Kilpatrick are working on another case across town involving a militia group. Two different cases, but are they connected? The way this story builds with its multiple layers, great character building, nail biting suspense and action packed tension, I mean, this checked all the boxes for me. It reads like a netflix movie that you can picture vividly in your mind.
If you like crime thrillers, police procedurals, strong female MC's, and small town angst, this is for you!
I can't wait to read book #3 "Until She Dies", which dropped yesterday 9/8/26!
4.25 stars!

No One Knew (Noelle Marshall #2) by Kendra Elliot is another near-perfect crime thriller. Elliot packs the story with everything that works—terrorism, mystery, suspense, likable characters, and just enough romance to keep it grounded. The narration by Stephanie Nemeth-Parker is well done and adds real polish, keeping the tension sharp throughout. The story moves with confidence and never loses focus. I’m genuinely glad there are two more books coming in this series—this one earns that anticipation.

I started reading Kendra Elliot’s books starting with the Columbia River series where Noelle Marshall made her appearance. This is the 2nd book dedicated to Noelle and in it, we get to know her a little better.
This story starts out with a young girl out in the woods looking for cans when she happens to stumble upon a dead body. Within the next couple of days, 2 more dead bodies turn up. Local authorities, along with the FBI, are tasked with these investigations and to determine if these deaths are related. Kendra Elliot is a master of creating the perfect amount of tension & pacing. Her books bring me back to my days of watching “Criminal Minds.” I will read anything she puts out.
Many thanks to NetGalley & Montlake for the opportunity to read an advanced eARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

Noelle Marshall leaped to the eye as soon as she was introduced in the Columbia River series and the first book in her series blew me away. To say I was anticipating No One Knew is an understatement. Kendra Elliot captivates me from the first page every single time.
No One Knew is the second Noelle Marshall book, but I would recommend starting with the first one for sure. However, if one wants to get a better picture of all the principal characters around her, catching the Mercy Kilpatrick and Columbia River books first would do the thing.
Noelle Marshall and Max Rhodes have been dating and taking things slow since the events of the previous book, Her First Mistake. He has a big secret he’s keeping back until he feels it’s the right time in the relationship as is she. Their private time gets put on hold when his Bend FBI office catches the wisps of a growing home-grown terrorist threat and her county sheriff’s office gets called in on a dead body.
Their cases escalate when further developments occur. Max is working the FBI angle on terrorism with Mercy, even Mercy’s police chief husband, Truman gets in on the act while Noelle and her detective partner, Evan are following the trail of a couple local murders. Then, there is the person stalking Max’s sister, Kiera, to get to him and that lonesome, neglected girl, Emma, scared and not sure whom she can trust who is tentatively looking to Noelle to keep her safe.
No One Knew is a fabulous crossroads of multiple narration work, thrilling suspense, and carefully building relationship and personal growth. I was so glad that the secrets did eventually come out and was excited for how their cases developed and the big breath-taking finale.
All in all, this was cover to cover fabulous-ness. I was glad to see that there are more Noelle Marshall books planned. Those who love romantic suspense or thriller romances must try these.
I rec'd an eARC via NetGalley to read in exchange for an honest review.
My full review will post at The Reading Frenzy 4.29.26.

so good!! a compelling story in which the author meshes together multiple POVs seamlessly to tell the story. onto the next!

Excellent! Danger, murder, mystery, intrigue, this was a suspenseful fast read for me. Great team of players here, Noelle & Max, of course, but I also enjoyed the authors inclusion of Mercy & Truman from another series. The last part book was edge of my seat intense. The ending, absolutely perfect. Glad to know at least 2 more books in the series are coming.
Read
March 17, 2026This book was a great murder mystery. Three dead bodies killed execution style show up at the same time, one an informant to the FBI. The deaths are leading back to a domestic terrorists group. Somehow a dirt poor teenager named Emma is tied into the middle of it all. Emma's father has been missing for 6 months as well. When Emma is suddenly missing along with the whole judicial branch of the county, Detective Noelle Marshall is very worried for the young girl. Can the FBI and the ATF save them all before it's to late? A great read, you should check it out.

This was a suspenseful, emotional story that kept me invested from start to finish. The mystery unfolded gradually, with strong character development and tension that built as secrets from the past began to surface. Elliot did a great job exploring how long-buried truths could ripple through the present in unexpected ways.
The pacing was on the slower side, especially in the beginning, and the presence of multiple story lines meant it took some time for everything to fully connect. That said, once the pieces started falling into place, the story became increasingly compelling and rewarding.
The audiobook experience was enhanced by Stephanie Németh-Parker’s narration. She delivered a clear, engaging performance that helped distinguish between characters and maintain emotional depth, even during the more deliberate sections of the story.
Overall, this was a solid, well-crafted suspense novel that fans of character-driven mysteries would appreciate.
Thank you to Brilliance Audio and NetGalley for the ARC.

Thanks to Netgally and the publisher for an advanced copy of the audio book in exchange for an honest review!
This book was ok. I think maybe because I went into it thinking it was going to be a psychological thriller like the other books I've read by this author and it was definitely not. This book is more along the lines of a mystery with little clues popping up throughout the story. The narrator did a fine job, but when the characters have so much internal dialog it makes it kind of hard to follow the story and stay in the moment of what's going on. I liked the basic plot of the story and I enjoyed most of the characters (especially cornbread!) I think i was just hoping for more action. Overall a decent read, especially if you love a mystery.

No One Knew is the second installment in author Kendra Elliot's Noelle Marshall series. The novel continues the story of Deschutes County Detective Noelle Marshall and FBI Special Agent Max Rhodes while standing well enough on its own for new readers—though prior familiarity with Her First Mistake (and optionally Elliot’s Mercy Kilpatrick or Columbia River books) deepens the experience.

Thrilling and intriguing. This was a suspenseful read with the characters well protrayed throughout the book. The last chapters of book were action packed and intense.

Another wonderful book by the great Kendra! This book has so many layers, as do all of her books, but this one in particular really kept me guessing at every chapter. The development of Noelle’s character has me anxiously awaiting (hoping!) that we get more of her and Max’s story in future books! Add it to your list! You won’t regret it!

No One Knew may be even better than the 1st book in the series! Kendra Elliot builds a world so realistic that you can practically feel the Pacific Northwest mist on your face. Her characters are messy, relatable, and so easy to root for that you’ll find yourself talking to the pages. Noelle and Max are such a vibe! This book has got all thrilling drama of a top tier police procedural, but with a heart that makes the suspense hit way harder. Honestly, I’d grab a coffee with these characters any day... if they weren't so busy outsmarting killers! ☕️🔎
This is Book 2 in the Noelle Marshall Series.

Detective Noelle Marshall feels as recovered as possible from her previous traumatic ordeal. She has also begun a romantic relationship with Max the FBI agent she met during her ordeal. Noelle is called to the scene of a teenage girl who found a dead body. When more bodies start turning up she realizes that it is no coincidence.
This is the second book in this series and I will say it was a little too slow moving for me. I did a combo of audio and physical reading and I just felt like this one just had too many different things going on.

This one started off fairly benign, a dead body being found. But man...did things really explode from there. It was interesting to see the crew investigate and all that they found as more bodies piled up. At times things got very dicey and force a few characters to look at what was important to them. I liked how one person, how really went through somethings, was in such a better place by the end. Finally has people around that care about them and now their future looks great! I also think that Noelle and Max are moving closer to more too, both deserve it!

Absolutely FANTASTIC!
This follow up did not disappoint. I’m loving this series so much. It fast paced…like whiplash fast. Noelle is such a great character…fierce, flawed and so smart. I am going to say that I did tear up at a part near the end.
Noelle has a big heart and this town does too. I’m looking forward to more on this series. If you love authors like Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Charly Cox…Kendra Elliot is a must read.

I really like the characters of Noelle and Max in this series but this story really felt like an overly tired premise that wandered aimlessly throughout the book with lots of dead bodies and a very weak motive. I liked the scenes with our main characters but the story itself wasn’t my favorite.
