About the book

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

    Ellies ältere Schwester Lila, die eine vielversprechende junge Mathematikerin ist, wird eines Tages tot aufgefunden, wahrscheinlich ermordet. Es wird niemand dafür verurteilt, aber Ellies Collegedozent Andrew verarbeitet das Geschehene in einem True Crime-Buch und macht sogar einen vermeintlichen Hauptverdächtigen aus. Jahre später begegnet Ellie, während sie im Rahmen ihrer Arbeit für einen Kaffeeröster auf Dienstreise in Mittelamerika ist, eben diesem vermeintlichen Hauptverdächtigen und versucht das, was ihrer Schwester passiert ist, noch einmal ganz neu aufzurollen... Ein solider Krimi, der meines Erachtens zwar nicht super spannend ist, aber dafür das Verhältnis der beiden ungleichen Schwestern einfühlsam beschreibt.
