I absolutely loved The Girl In The Mirror and when I saw this pop up, I just had to read it!

A woman is left alone, pregnant and with nothing. She runs into an opportunity to become a nanny for a wealthy couple. The couple are very unlikable characters. I can’t really go into too much detail or it will spoil the fun.

The first half starts off slow then definitely picks up in the second. Thank you to Rose Carlyle, William Morrow and NetGalley for the opportunity.

I liked Rose Carlyle's debut novel, The Girl in the Mirror, but this second book, No One Will Know, is even better. The prose is smoother, the action more intense, and the twists believable.

Eve Sylvester has found the man of her dreams, but when he is killed in a car crash, she finds herself penniless, homeless, and pregnant. Enter the mysterious Zelde Finch with an offer that will solve her problems: become the nanny for the wealthy Hygate family and raise her child with theirs. It appears idyllic: living in luxury on a remote island in Tasmania and giving her child advantages Eve could never afford. Eve accepts the Hygate's unusual offer, but it's not long before she has second thoughts based on unusual conditions tied to her employment. Why must no one know she is there until her child is born? What's happening with the mysterious yacht that sometimes comes in the night? These and many more questions give her pause.

The moral dilemma that Eve faces drives the plot: to what extent is she willing to go for the welfare of her child? This twisty, suspenseful story is entertaining and kept me guessing. The characters are interesting, and I rooted for Eve to overcome life's obstacles. 4/5 stars.

Thank you, NetGalley and William Morrow, for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The publication date is October 1, 2024.

I seem to be in the minority here, but I found the plot of this mystery a bit too outlandish. The main character constantly makes choices that make you want to bang your head against a wall. The plot twists are so far-fetched that it's nearly impossible to suspend disbelief. Also, there are so many plotlines that are set up and go absolutely nowhere, making me wonder why they were even added in the first place. On a positive note, the pacing did keep me turning pages, and before I knew it, the book was over. It kept me entertained for an entire flight, even if I was holding back groaning in public for most of it. It's a good read if you're looking for nonstop twists and over the top plots.

Highly entertaining and addictive read! Eve Sylvester is a loner and a survivor. When she finds herself dazzled by the wealth of the couple who want to hire her as nanny to their son, she has no idea what sinister plan she is getting into! It’s really hard to write about this book without spoiling it. I have to admit that the beginning of the book threw me off balance and I actually double checked that I was reading the book I had downloaded, lol! But stay with it because it IS the right book and it will twist and turn until the very end. I really enjoyed the remote Tasmanian island setting of this book and the twists caught me completely off guard, so much fun! Thank you Netgalley, William Morrow, and the author for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. This book will be available for purchase on October 1, 2024

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.
