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!

Shiesty parents and a jejune nanny stir up trouble in an isolated haunt- if you like that trope you will love this

I had the pleasure of reading this book provided by @NetGalley and @williammorrowbooks. No One Will Know was a suspenseful read that kept you guessing. Something sketchy was going on but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it until the end. Definitely recommend reading this thriller. Would be a good summer read since it is based around an island.

Eve is alone and pregnant when she is approached to be a nanny for a family on a remote island. Eve is stunned and excited to get a job that will solve all her problems. Sound too good to be true? Of course it is.

My thoughts:
Farfetched and then some
naive main character
mysterious surroundings and people
A good book overall, but too far out there to be believable.

3.5 stars from me

Thanks to netgalley and William Morrow for the arc.

3.5⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for an advanced copy of No One Will Know.

Eve is approached by a strange woman about becoming a nanny for a very wealthy couple. Eve finds it odd but she is struggling after the tragic death of her boyfriend Xander and finding out that she is pregnant with his child. She is alone and has no money so she decides to go see about the job. The mansion is huge but there are no other homes around and she gets unsettled but she meets the couple Chris and Julia and they seem nice. Until they tell her that they cannot have children and want to adopt her baby but keep her on as the nanny. She is stunned but wants a good life for her child so she agrees. But over the years she is there things start to not add up. She is determined to find out the truth.

This book had a lot going on and I would definitely check the trigger warnings. Some of this book seemed pretty far fetched and unbelievable. I will say that it does keep you guessing until the very last page.

My Thoughts-
This was a highly entertaining and bingeable read. So over the top but ride was so fun. The characters were untrustworthy and the plot twist I DID NOT see coming. I had to put down the book and stare at the wall because I was so perplexed. The main character Eve was so DUMB tho. She was getting on my nerves. Like how are you that gullible? BUT she did make up for it at the end.

This thriller is kinda of a slow burn. There were some chapters that dragged out but overall a fast pace thriller. I definitely recommend this book.

✨Thanks to NetGalley, The Author, & William Marrow Publishing for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review✨

This book was a quick read with a unique plot… but it’s quite far-fetched and tries to do too much in my opinion. The characters are unlikeable and Eve (the MC) is an idiot.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

What!? Wow. From the very start, I was on the edge of my seat. This fast paced story will keep you guessing until the end.

another bingeable thriller from Carlyle! I went into this one blind and i feel like that’s the best way to go - it starts with some bizarre incidents but then when we get about 20% in the main plot of the story changes completely. It was a fun ride and I can’t believe I didn’t see the main twist coming! although (maybe a minor spoiler) I was kind of disappointed we never circled back to the events of the book’s opening, so I guess everything there was just as it seemed?

I received a free copy of, No One Will Know, by Rose Carlyle, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Eve is pregnant and alone, she thinks she has the perfect answer when Julie and Christopher want her to be their babies nanny. I did not care for this book at all, Julie and Christopher are horrible people.

No One Will Know

Thanks to the author, publisher and Net Galley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
A deliciously twisty and suspenseful novel from the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girl in the Mirror, about a desperate young woman and the manipulative wealthy couple who will stop at nothing to ensure their worst nightmare becomes a dream come true.
Rose Carlyle has done it again. Girl in the Mirror was one of my favorite books when it came out in 2020. I was so excited to read No One Will Know and it did not disappoint. I devoured it in just a few hours. I just had to find out what would happen next.

The story is one that is tough to talk about without major spoilers. Go into this knowing nothing and you will love it. It is a story of motherhood, betrayal, murder, a family drama and so much more. Set on an isolated island off Tasmania, it is the perfect location for this twisty and shocking thriller. While you won’t like many of the characters, and you will question the main characters decision, you will absolutely have strong feelings whilst reading this book. It will go where you don’t expect and you just have to go with it.
