Rose Carlyle's latest release will have readers flipping through the pages as the twists and turns collide in No One Will Know. Eve is heartbroken, pregnant and nearly broke. After a tragic accident kills her new fiance (a whirlwind romance with a wealthy heir sowing his wild oats) and his family shuns her, Eve meets enigmatic and charming couple Julia and Christopher. Wealthy beyond imagination and living on a remote private island, they desperately want Eve to be their nanny. Eve, who has no experience with children outside of her pregnancy, no family left and no real ties to speak of, cautiously accepts this offer and is drawn in to their world. Yet, Eve should have questioned their motives (much like the readers will) further. When dark truths emerge and with her and her child's life at risk, Eve has to fight the sinister network of wealth, influence and dangerous connections or lose everything. Carlyle has created a unique thriller readers will surely enjoy!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

This psychological thriller was a solid read. I enjoyed the characters, especially Eve, and thought the plot line was interesting. The storyline jumps a few months and then years at a time, which may be hard to follow for some. I found myself wanting details that weren’t there, and finding others to be irrelevant. The beginning of the book was enticing, around the middle I found myself bored, and then the end was packed full of action and plot twists.

Over all I’d recommend it as an entertaining read for your TBR!

Never underestimate a mother’s love…

Eve is pregnant & doesn’t have the support system she needs, so when an opportunity to nanny for a wealthy couple is handed to her she decides it’s the best possible situation for her & her baby. But once she makes it to their remote Tasmanian island home, things are stranger than she anticipated…

This book went a little darker than I was expecting it to, but props to the author because I was definitely surprised by the many intricate layers of deception gradually unraveled throughout this story. The depths of greed & lengths people are willing to go to are both explored, & I loved the way the ocean played a role (also that cover is gorgeous!). The author’s first work has been on my TBR list for awhile & I definitely need to get to it soon.

Thank you to NetGalley & William Morrow for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks to Netgalley and William Marrow for this arc. I received this book in exchange for my honest review. My thoughts are entirely my own.

In this book we meet Eve who meets the love of her life on a yacht and once they return home she finds out that she is pregnant and then the father of her child dies in a car accident when they go to meet his rich family and to tell them about their relationship and pregnancy. Eve’s baby daddy’s family wants nothing to do with her and tells her to leave the apartment that the owned that they were staying at. Eve meets Julia and Chris who cannot have children of their own so Eve stays with them and ends up giving them the child and work for them as a nanny to her own child. Eve believes she is carrying a girl but at the birth they say it’s a boy. Five years pass and Eve is a nanny to Alec and on her birthday the yacht they are own explodes and Eve learns that she actually had a daughter that the Hygates gave to a smuggler instead of Alec. Eve stops the Hygates and the smuggler and gets her daughter back and adopts Alec. Zelde the nurse who took care of Eve and Julia during their pregnancies thinks she may have switched the babies but doesn’t know for sure but nobody will ever know, hince the title of the book. So many tricks and turns that I couldn’t stop reading.

In case anyone is checking in on me…

I just screamed, kissed my kindle and then did a little twirl.

Then I dove into No One Will Know, pushing all priorities aside.

After about 3 hours in I had a full bladder and a pulse that could qualify for an ER visit. I skipped the toilet and kept on going.

The anxiety! My goodness, Carlyle!

Trust?
Non-existent.
I will never trust another soul ever again.

Carlyle, took a machete to my soul and didn’t once let me catch my breath. God, I love this little lady.

It’s literally impossible to connect these dots and when it all comes together you’ll have the ultimate shock factor.

Teaser :

They’re the perfect couple. They have the perfect plan. All they need is the perfect victim.

Julia and Christopher Hygate have the picture-perfect life: gobs of money thanks to their lucrative shipping enterprise and an estate on a secluded island.

When they meet Eve Sylvester, they know she is the exact person they should hire to be their child's nanny. Eve doesn’t have any living relatives, she’s lost touch with her friends, and her partner is out of the picture. Best of all, she’s expecting a baby.

Eve thinks she’s landed the greatest gig—previously desperate and penniless, now she’ll live like a queen and have a promising future for her daughter.

But the job seems too good to be true. Why would the Hygates hire Eve if she has no prior nannying experience? Why must Eve stay out of sight? And what’s with the mysterious yachts coming in and out of the Hygates' private marina?

It's too late to ask questions, though, Eve is already in far too deep.

Set against the backdrop of a remote island, an endless stream of secrets, and unbelievable wealth, No One Will Know is a propulsive, seductive novel of suspense that shows the terrible consequences of shocking greed, staggering lies, and fatal mistakes.

This was so twisty and suspenseful. I was loving it. We are introduced to Eve, who is alone in this world after a car accident kills the love of her life. Well, mostly alone. She meets Julia and Christopher who want to hire her as a nanny for their child. They seem like the perfect couple, and the job offer seems too good to be true. That usually means it is, right? By the time she figures it out, it’s clearly too late.

Honestly, this was great. I loved Rose Carlyle’s last novel, The Girl in the Mirror, and this one didn’t disappoint. I think it started out a little slow and it was a little weird with the beginning and the boyfriends family - then…nothing. But boy did everything pick up after we meet Julia and Christopher. This one had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I loved the character development, I love the way everything came together. I think the big time jump threw me off initially, but it came back around in the end. Overall, this is a great suspenseful thriller that has some twists I didn’t see coming. The ending was better than I hoped for.

Thank you to NetGalley, William Morrow and Rose Carlyle for the eARC of No One Will Know in exchange for an honest review. I’m a little behind on this…but No One Will Know came out 01 October 2024. You should definitely grab a copy now, if you haven’t already!

I absolutely loved The Girl in the Mirror and was so excited to get an ARC of No One Will Know. Unfortunately the beginning of the book immediately starts with a car accident and it messed with my PTSD so I had to put the book down and it took months to want to pick it back up. It was a good book and I was jaded after the car accident so I don't think I gave it a full, fair chance. The overall story line was good and I will definitely read more by Rose Carlyle in the future.

I read and loved Rose Carlyle’s novel, The Girl In The Mirror so I was excited to get my hands on No One Will Know, hoping for the same nail-biting suspense and excellent writing. And wow, was this good!

The story centers on Julia and Christopher who hire a nanny named Eve, who has no close relatives or family of her own. She is perfect for taking care of their child. Eve is expecting a baby, so for her, this is a great opportunity to earn money and while living a fabulous lifestyle.

As you can guess… things are not what they seem. The amazing job offer and perks soon give way to something more sinister.

Here is the official synopsis:

Julia and Christopher Hygate have the picture-perfect life: gobs of money thanks to their lucrative shipping enterprise and an estate on a secluded island.

When they meet Eve Sylvester, they know she is the exact person they should hire to be their child’s nanny. Eve doesn’t have any living relatives, she’s lost touch with her friends, and her partner is out of the picture. Best of all, she’s expecting a baby.

But the job seems too good to be true. Why would the Hygates hire Eve if she has no prior nannying experience? Why must Eve stay out of sight? And what’s with the mysterious yachts coming in and out of the Hygates’ private marina?

It’s too late to ask questions, though, Eve is already in far too deep.

I would like to thank NetGalley and William Morrow for providing me with an advance e-galley of this book in exchange for an honest review. Look for it in your local and online bookstores and libraries on October 1, 2024.

As much as I wanted to like this book, it really fell flat. The storyline was so odd and unrealistic that I had a hard time getting invested in the story.

The synopsis for this book was so good, I just had to read it. I thought I was in for a popcorn thriller, as the trope of a naive nanny working for a crazy wealthy family is used often, but this is actually a deep, dark thriller that deals with serious topics, all while taking the reader through a fantastic story!

Eve is a young woman who’s had a hard life. Her parents died when she was young, her Nanna raised her until she died, and then Eve dropped out of high school and started traveling the world, taking odd jobs whenever she could. While working as a crew member on a yacht, she meets Xander, who turns out to be the love of her life. He wants to marry her, and with his significant family money, Eve thinks this is her shot at a normal life, especially when she realizes she’s pregnant with his baby. Then, on their way to meet his parents to come out as a couple, they are in a car accident that kills Xander. Eve is once again all alone.

While visiting Xander’s grave one day, she’s approached by an older woman named Zelde. She works for Christopher and Julia Hygate, who live on a secluded island, and Julia is about to have a baby. They are looking for a nanny, and Eve is invited to meet them. Why would they hire a pregnant, homeless and penniless woman with no experience? Because Julia isn’t really pregnant - and she wants Eve’s baby. At first Eve refuses, but soon realizes this child will grow up with money and two parents, and they’ve even invited her to stay as a nanny to be in its life. She agrees, as hard as it is, and spends several years with the family.

Then the entire story flips around with a twist I never saw coming; I’m impressed if anyone figures out this twist before it’s revealed! It’s been a long time since a book has shocked me like this, and it made for an ending fraught with both fear and hope. The writing in this is great, the whole story is very entertaining, but that twist before the brilliant ending is what pushed my rating up to five stars. All I can say is, wow! I wouldn’t mind a sequel to this one…

(Thank you to William Morrow Paperbacks, Rose Carlyle and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review.)

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

WOW! This book definitely had its head spinning moments! Right when I started to feel it getting a little predictable, it completely flips the narrative and I know nothing all over again! The characters were all very well developed and I loved getting little pieces of information and insight into their backstories. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves psychological thrillers and mysteries!

oooh a fun twisty thrill ride?! sign me up!

I absolutely loved the author's other book, The Girl in the Mirror so I knew I had to read this one asap and I'm so glad I did. I definitely recommend going in blind as it will make the reading experience more fun.

No One Will Know is a fast-paced, edge of your seat, twisty thriller. The FMC is a bit naive which is a bit annoying but honestly, that seems to be a trope of choice nowadays and it makes the story a bit more interesting.

Read this if you like:
Unlikeable characters
Binge-worthy plot
Crazy twists
Fun, dream-like, setting

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy in exchange for an honest review :))

I found this to be an easy, fast read. The premise of the story made me think that this could possibly happen.,People can be made to do unthinkable things when their back is against the wall. People go to great extremes to keep themselves safe.

The story unfolds in Tasmania, a setting that instantly drew me in, reminding me of my own visit there 15 years ago. The stunning landscapes serve as a backdrop to a tragedy that sets the stage for a series of unexpected and often unsettling decisions. Each character's choices spiral out of control, leading to moments that left me questioning their motivations and the reality of their situations. Just when I thought I had it figured out, new layers of complexity emerged, keeping me on the edge of my seat.

The writing brilliantly captures the tension between appearances and the truth lurking beneath the surface. I found myself fully invested in the characters, each with their own secrets and struggles, making the narrative all the more intriguing. The twists and turns felt organic, not forced, and the climax delivered a resolution that was both satisfying and thought-provoking. This haunting tale lingers in my mind, challenging my perceptions and emotions long after I reached the end.

A twisty domestic thriller that sees a young pregnant woman surviving a car crash that kills her wealthy boyfriend and has her getting caught up in a baby swapping scheme. This one kind of went all over the place for me. I thought it was going in one direction and things turned out quite differently. If you like underdog stories and books about rich people behaving badly plus horrific motherhood experiences, this might be for you. I liked the Australian setting and the accent of the narrator. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

Great mystery read! This book has so many twists & turns that keep the reader guessing. Everytime you think you have figured it out the mystery keeps unraveling. I read it in a few days, it was hard to put down. I was very invested in the story & wanted to know how it would end! Loved that the ending was just want you want-the kids were safe & the criminals were mostly held accountable.

Glad to find another clean book to recommend to my teenage daughter. I will definitely check out the authors other books.

I had a hard time with this one because I felt like the main character. Eve was so gullible. Why did she make any of these choices? It made the plot feel sort out of cheap just to get to a plot twist. I like mysteries of more real people in them and not this strange mysterious rich people private island nonsense—- they didn’t seem like the author had met people before
