I really enjoyed this book . My only thought is that the ending seemed rushed and some of it didn’t make sense . Alec being just 6 , it seems unrealistic for him to be doing a lot of the things he’s made to do nearing the end . I feel the last half was very muddy . I like the idea of this book , I did enjoy it. Just I feel it needs some re writing .
3.5 stars, rounded up.
No One Will Know follows the story of Eve Sylvester, a young woman whose life takes a devastating turn when her boyfriend, Xander, dies in a car accident on the same day he was supposed to introduce her to his wealthy family. To make matters worse, Eve finds out she’s pregnant, but Xander’s family wants nothing to do with her, believing she’s a gold digger. Alone and desperate, Eve plans to raise the baby by herself until a chance encounter with an eccentric woman offers her a job that seems too good to be true—working as a nanny for a wealthy couple on a secluded island.
This is a fast-paced thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. The structure and timeline are compelling, with the story leaping forward in time to gradually reveal key events, adding to the suspense. While some of the twists were a bit predictable, there were many surprises that kept me hooked. The main character’s naïveté, though typical for the genre, wasn’t too frustrating and didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book. Overall, it’s a gripping, enjoyable read that kept me engaged from start to finish. If you enjoyed Carlyle’s “The Girl in the Mirror”, pick this one up as well.
I would like to thank NetGalley, William Morrow Publishing, and the author for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for an ARC of No One Will Know in exchange for my honest review.
I was very excited to get early access to this book as I had enjoyed Carlyle's previous novel. While this book dis have some unexpected twists, I found them to be pretty preposterous and couldn't get past some of the more ridiculous elements. While I read it pretty quickly to see where the story would go, it ultimately left me unsatisfied.
If you like a mystery with a million twists, this is the book for you. Great for fans of Freida McFadden and Ruth Ware.
This book starts off with a sweet couple, Xander and Eve, deciding how they are going to announce their relationship to Xanders wealthy parents. Things go astray when he is killed in a car accident on the way to meet them. Eve has to contend with what to do about her 10 week pregnancy. She becomes involved with a couple, Chris and Julia, and enters into a contract with them. Throughout her journey, there are different characters, mysteries, and secrets within secrets. I don’t want to go too much into the plot beyond this, but know there is a lot of it.
This is where I would normally say that the book has “a slow burn,” but I have to tell you, this is in no way a slow burn. It is very fast paced, plot twist every few chapters. It doesn’t leave your head spinning, but it is for lack of a better phrase, a fast burn. This is a very easy read for those who like a real page turner. I read it while on a flight from start to finish.
Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC. Book to be released October 1, 2024.
This was a very twisty and satisfying psychological thrillers. I had high hopes for this book after The Girl in the Mirror and Carlyle definitely delivered again! There were a host of unlikable characters, but it was a thriller that had me questioning myself and really thinking about what I would do which to me is a good book. I recommend to all thriller lovers!
No One Will Know is the perfect creepy spooky season read! I loved this one and it might be my favorite book of the year!
I think I need to face the obvious here - Carlyle’s books aren’t for me.
I remember reading her first, thinking it was convoluted, over complicated and underwhelming. Sadly I feel the same here but the convoluted and over complicated are to the freaking Nth degree!
This was so incredibly preposterous. The main character was either dumb or we are lead to believe she is naive but NOBODY is that naive. The twists kept coming, but never fully made sense. IDK man…this was rough.
The pink spotted geckos!? Why?!?!?
I am so excited that I got an ARC of this book! I often try to figure out what is going to happen with thrillers like these but this one did not go how I thought it would. It seemed like all was good and I just kept waiting for a twist. But it was a slow burn of little bits of info getting dropped for you to try to piece together. And then it all came together with a juicy little twist at the end. I enjoyed it very much!!
So good! I read this in one day!
The twists keep coming and I didn’t predict them at all. It was a quick and easy read, Frieda McFadden style. Definitely recommend!
Thank you to NetGalley, Rose Carlyle, and William Morrow Paperbacks for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
The writing kept me reading but there was a bit too much going on here.

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for an early copy of No One Will Know. The cover is absolutely breathtaking!! This was a WILD book, who thinks of plots like these? There were quite a few far fetching parts with Eve but all in all a great thriller. I read it in a day. A bit confusing about the geckos but it all does come together. The epilogue was like WHAT?????? A great read!
Absolutely addicting! I’ve been in a reading rut lately and decided to pick this up for a change of pace and I’m so glad I did! The plot was unlike anything else I’ve read and the suspense was killer! And just when you think it’s all wrapped up in a nice bow, there’s a twist that will knock your socks off. Well done, Rose Carlyle. I will definitely be looking for more of your books!
WOW!
Talk about a roller coaster. This book had me sucked in from the beginning and I could not put it down. Finishing it in 24 hours and I feel like I still wanted more.
The characters were amazing. The thrill was thrilling. The storyline was chilling especially since I just had a baby last year. I really loved how hard the FMC fought for what she wanted and what she knew was right.
Truly thrilled to recommend this to people and can’t wait for the pub date!
She did it again! I love this author and I wish she would write more! Thank you for the ARC Netgalley! This original story keeps you on your toes until the end. It hooks you from the beginning as well. Definitely recommend and enjoyed.
A very easy to get into book with lots of twists! I loved the setting - an island off the coast of Tasmania. The main character was pretty naive but also was alone, pregnant and broke so perhaps sometimes desperate times make us ignore red flags? Loved the ending!
Many thanks to Willam Morrow and NetGalley for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest feedback.
“No One Will Know” is a great thriller by Rose Carlyle she sets the book with a young woman placed in a terrible situation. The character Eve has suffered terrible loss but is given hope once again. Eve is constantly conflicted with her decisions but she soon settles in to her new life. After years of being blind to the truth Eve is faced with terrible truth. It is now up to Eve to fight for her survival and the survival of her children.
When I read the description of this book I was very intrigued, then I started to read the book and was a bit confused. The title page includes a description of a couple and how they have a certain plan. It was my thoughts that the book would be in perspective of the couple however that wasn’t the case. Other than the description on the cover page to be a little misleading I really enjoyed the book. Eve was a fantastic character and you could really feel all her emotions throughout the novel. I was surprised many times throughout this book, and just when I thought I couldn’t be surprised again I was.
This book was exactly what I had hoped it would be. It’s a good popcorn thriller with a few twists I did not see coming. I really liked the main character, Eve, and it was easy to root for her. Some of her decisions were a little questionable (like watching a horror movie when you want to scream “run!” at the screen) but Eve acknowledges the red flags and has her reasons for doing what she does.
The author does a good job of creating a sense of dread that builds as you go. Eve finds herself pregnant and isolated with only a wealthy couple (and their staff) to rely on. It’s clear early on that there’s some deception happening, but to what level we aren’t sure. I recommend this for a beach read or a quick weekend read. Thanks to Netgalley for providing a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.
My mom always told me if something seems too good to be true then it probably is. This book entails this to the fullest potential all the way to the last page. I was personally sketchy about the situation that Eve was in from the first page of the book and that never changed, even at the completion of the book. This book was beautifully written and kept me on my toes the entire time I was reading. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Rich people and a thriller! I enjoyed this a lot. There were a lot of twists in this book and you just did not know what was going to come next. I really recommend this book!
This suspense book definitely had some twists and turns. I was a bit thrown off guard because the description is more from the couples' point of view but the book opens with Eve's first person POV and like 70% of the book is her narrative. I think I would've been MORE surprised by the twists and turns if the description had been solely focused on Eve's story.
The writing and plot are pretty solid. The prose is easy to read and the characters are engaging. Though, there are plenty of "why are you doing this" moments where I wanted to shake Eve for being dumb or naive, but at least the character justified her decisions (mostly?) The twists and surprises were generally set up well and I enjoyed the switches and was pretty surprised a number of times. Though some of the reveals/reasons didn't feel as meaty or strong as I expected. Overall, I was entertained while on my plane ride.
