Eve Sylvester is young and broke and needs a job fast. After years of foster homes, backpacking and a sailing trip across the Pacific Ocean, she has lost contact with friends and family. She is alone, desperate—and pregnant.
Then she meets Julia and Christopher Hygate, a charming and glamorous couple, who seem to have the perfect life: loads of money and a breathtakingly beautiful mansion on a remote Tasmanian island. It’s not long before the couple make her a lucrative offer: the chance to move into their empty summerhouse and take up a very easy job.
Eve thinks she’s fallen on her feet—she has found a home, and her child will grow up in the aptly named Paradise Bay. But some things about the job don’t add up. Why must Eve stay out of sight? Why have the Hygates employed an ex-con to run their yacht-charter business? And what about the mysterious boats sailing in and out of the Hygates’ private marina? Has Eve made a deal with the devil? It’s too late to ask questions. Eve is already in far too deep.
Set against the stunning backdrop of a windswept island and its mysterious lighthouse, No One Will Know is a propulsive, seductive novel of suspense that reveals the terrible consequences of greed, staggering lies and fatal mistakes.
Rose Carlyle is not only an author, but also a lawyer and a keen adventurer! She has crewed on scientific yachting expeditions to subantarctic islands as well having sailed with her family from Thailand to South Africa. She is the bestselling author of The Girl in the Mirror.
What a fast-paced, twisty tale filled with shocking revelations! No One Will Know takes you on an unexpected journey, leaving you stunned by where it ultimately leads. The novel begins with a relaxed, slow pace before shifting to a tense, suspenseful storyline that builds up to an action-packed ending. Readers will be left gobsmacked, unsure of what has truly transpired. It is the type of book that will have you thinking for days afterward – exactly my kind of read!
Carlyle is truly a masterful storyteller as she feeds on our deepest fears of being completely alone whilst having to confront the immoral and evil actions of others. She explores the profound phenomenon of parenthood and the lengths people will go in their quest to have children, as well as for the welfare of their children. Beautifully written, the story made me feel the stress and panic of the main character Eve, as she endured all the challenges throughout the book. Carlyle truly knows how to draw the reader in and create emotional connections with both the characters and the story.
A highly addictive and engaging read, No One Will Know is perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden and Ruth Ware. Readers who enjoyed Rose Carlyle’s debut novel, The Girl in the Mirror, will not be disappointed: Carlyle has truly outdone herself with this new release!
