Thanks to #NetGalley and #WilliamMorrow for the book #NoOneWillKnow by #RoseCarlyle. Julia and Christopher are not good people. They set out to find the perfect person, Eve, to hire to be a nanny. Eve is also pregnant and excited about her new job. She starts noticing strange things and wonders if she made the right decision. Is it too late to back out?

Thank you, Netgalley, Rose Carlyle, and William Morrow for the ebook. This was a complicated story of the loss of love but also the gifts given in those dark times. This book took turns. I definitely didn't see it coming, and the ending will have you shaken!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If any book should be adapted into a movie, it would probably be this one. I was immediately addicted to this book because of how much I thought that I was going to be able to predict when it came to the plot twists. It was almost unpredictable. Because when you think you know the full story, the book begins to shock you left and right. The plot of this book was spectacular, and the characters were unpredictable. I loved the POV switch toward the end of the book because you get insight into why the characters are doing what they’re doing and then everything starts to make sense. If you want to be on a roller coaster of thrills this is the perfect creepy book to read during October!

Thank you to the publisher William Morrow Books & author Rose Carlyle for this amazing ARC that I was so gracefully presented via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This was a wild thriller. I thought I had it figured out towards the beginning but my predictions were incorrect. I really enjoyed the many layers there were to this story, it kept my interest throughout.

I enjoyed the authors first book and I was excited to see what she came up with this time, it was just a bizarre as the first! I do think the ending was a bit rushed but overall that did not take away from my enjoyment. Look forward to her next book!

Eve is suffering the sudden loss of her boyfriend while in her early weeks of pregnancy. Having no one to turn to and nowhere to go, she takes what seems to be the perfect job with the Hygates on their secluded property as live-in nanny. Upon arrival, she quickly begins to realize that all is not as it seems and the Hygates may not be telling the truth of their intentions.

This was quickly captivating, pulling the reader into the story and making us become sympathetic to Eve and her dire situation. While she was immediately likable and intriguing in her past and personality, she seemed a bit too naïve for her character. She either seemed highly intelligent or gullible and not seeing what was clearly obvious. Without going into detail, this is a story that those who cannot suspend disbelief may not exactly enjoy this one. With that aside, this was otherwise thrilling and shocking in its' reveals. The seclusion and isolation was conveyed brilliantly and the story took turns that were unpredictable to say the least. The only complaint I had was that I felt that the Epilogue could have been left out. Three and a half stars.

Thank you, Netgalley and William Morrow for this ARC.

This is a fast twisty read. Right from the start, the perfect couple and the perfect job seem suspicious and only gets more so as the book goes on. I enjoyed this read, even though it wasn't very believable to me, once i got past that, I enjoyed it for what it was. I really prefer more realistic storylines and characters

This book was amazing! Eve has dealt with tragedy but her luck turns around when he is offered a nannying job for a wealthy family on a private island. Once she gets there, not all is what was expected. This book kept my attention the entire time and had some crazy twists and turns! Highly recommend!

Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! I’ve been a fan of Carlyle’s since Girl in the Mirror came out and this didn’t disappoint ONE BIT. Can’t wait for more 💕

I was so eager to start No One Will Know Rose Carlyle!
I am a huge fan of Rose Carlyle. Her first novel The Girl in the Mirror was freaking phenomenal so I was way too excited to start her newest title.

A fantastic and twisty psychological thriller that had me completely spellbound!
What a fascinating book. I was impressed by the storyline and the characters were all well written and complex. Where there are complex storylines combined with intriguing characters the reader experience is magnified tremendously.
I enjoyed the writing style, which was provided just enough detail about the characters to grab and hold my attention.

A compelling, seductive novel of suspense that shows the terrible consequences of shocking greed, staggering lies, and fatal mistakes.

Thank You NetGalley and William Morrow Paperbacks for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

I could not put this book down. It was well written, and had many twists and turns. It definitely didn't end up where I expected it to!
Highly recommend this to anyone who loves thrillers.

This book is such a good “take you on a ride down a spiraling hill thriller”. The authors writing really had me sucked in from the start. I really enjoyed the story as a whole; the heartbreak; the violence and the mystery. Nothing is ever as it seems and this book is the perfect example of that!

No One Will Know is the sophomore novel from Rose Carlyle.

"Eve is pregnant with no family, no friends and no place to turn until a couple, Julia and Christopher Hygate, offers her a deal. They are unable to have children and want to adopt her baby. And they want her to be the nanny. They want her to move to their remote island home until the baby comes. Eve accepts their deal because she has no other options. But the couple is acting odd and secretive and Eve wonders what she's really gotten into."

There are several "suspend belief" moments in this story. If you can do that, you'll find an interesting thriller with a storyline unlike any others. Eve is a character that's been dealt a bad hand and tries to find some workable option for her baby. The Hygates have some secrets though. A couple of them you won't guess - there's a couple of wild reveals and wild moments. The setting is exotic and the ending was one I liked.

Nice follow-up novel from Carlyle.

This book was awkward, uncomfortable, and unsettling the entire time! Every once in awhile I'd think something had been cleared up and started to make sense only to have that turned on its side. Oddly enough, though, this book didn't feel like a roller coaster. Instead it was a solid steady stream of WTF?? I wasn't quite able to accept the reasonings behind why some people made the choices they made. But, isn't that always the way it is with people who do bad things and then rationalize them? A solid read, but you will need to pay attention! (And a map wouldn't have hurt......though I read an ARC so maybe the finished book will have one?)

**Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for the eARC of this title.**

I was really looking forward to a quick, twisty vacation read. Unfortunately, this book is extremely convoluted and can’t get out of its own way. DNF at 40% because I can’t stand any of the characters or the storyline.

Thrillers typically involve suspension of disbelief to really get into them but Carlyle is asking the reader to do too much work with this one. This one has a lot of positive reviews over on GR so clearly it has an audience. Bummed I wasn’t a part of that group.

I was so excited to read this after loving Carlyle’s previous book THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR! NO ONE WILL KNOW definitely did not disappoint!

I’ll give a brief synopsis but this is a book better to go in blind. Eve is pregnant with no family, friends and no money. She finds a job with a wealthy couple as their nanny. What could go wrong?

This book was binge worthy! Eve was relatable in the sense you wanted to root for her in her situation. I had so many ideas of what was going to happen but my mind was constantly churning. I did figure out some of what was to happen, but there was a lot to unpack. I felt like I had to suspend reality a smidge but this honestly could happen in real life- I’m sure it has somewhere! Just like Carlyle’s last book, she kept the twists coming to the last sentence!

4.5 stars! Thank you NetGalley, William Morrow and Rose Carlyle for my ARC!

Not a real fan of this one due to the actions of the main characters, but the writing was good. It gets three stars because it's not a bad book, the book just isn't my cup of tea.

While this book was not for me, I would like to thank William Morrow and Scene of The Crime Facebook Page for allowing me access to this Advanced Reader Copy.

I thought I knew where this book was going but it turns out...I did not!

Poor Eve is left grieving and pregnant, and I I felt her pain. Then someone makes her an offer that is too good to be true...and you know what they say....

Eve has a choice...take the Hygate's offer and give her baby a life she could not...or reject the offer and struggle with childcare and a job. But once she's ferried by private boat to a remote island with no means of escape, she realizes there is a lot more to this job offer. Why is there so much secrecy? Why does she have to stay hidden? Why can't she turn the lights on, or visit the Hygates at their house?

I love a locked room mystery and the intricate plot of No One Will Know kept me on tenterhooks!

Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for an advance reader's copy!

Carlyle does it again with another fantastic, well written, detailed, and thought provoked mystery thriller! I love the complexity of her writing yet it never gets confusing or hard to read it is just so good! I had loved "The Girl in the Mirror" so much and the twisted ending so I couldn't wait to get my hands on her next book and it definitely didn't disappoint! I love how she delivered a huge dose of karma while also leaving some secrets to never be known, because who would tell if "No One Will Know" there were more secrets to be revealed!! It was absolutely brilliant and engaging I devoured this read with all the psychological games that were twisted within the storyline!

I loved how Eve persevered and even if she didn't know all the secrets she found out enough and righted many wrongs. Julia and Christopher really weren't at all what they seemed, the idyllic perfect couple were even more monstrous than I thought they would be which definitely gave a great edge to the seemingly perfect couple! Zelde was so devious under her guise of just seemingly being all business and strictly professional. There were so many bad guys in this it was great! If you read the premise it gives you just a small insight to what the story may be about, and then when you delve into it and immerse yourself it feels like you entered into the Underworld of deception! Suspense is high, the stakes even higher, and you just need to hold on for the ride! Thank you to NetGalley, William Morrow, and to the creative mind behind even making this a story to be read Rose Carlyle this was a fantastic read!

First let me say that I really enjoyed the authors last book so I was very excited about this book, but I have to say I was disappointed. It's not a bad book per se, but I struggled a bit with it. I guess the plot was clever and had some good reveals, but the main character did not work for me.

Eve's level of intelligence seemed to fluctuate depending on what the plot needed. At times she was able to game out and piece together what was happening, but other times she was incredibly naive. I know she was young, but she seemed not to grasp the severity of the situation she had ended up in. Far too many sentences began with, "Surely..." as in surely this can't be what's happening when there was every indication that was what was happening since she knew she surrounded by people she should not trust.

However the book was page turner and kept me engaged. But many of the characters were ridiculous. Especially the one who'd POV is used for the epilogue. At that point it felt a bit too much like a last ditch effort to end on a zinger which fell flat for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc. This book was absoluely insane. I was hooked from the first page. I had no clue where this story was headed but the ending left me speechless and honestly unsettled. I finished this book in under a day and definitely recommend it if you're looking to get out of a reading slump! I will be on the lookout for more books by Rose Carlyle in the future!
