No One Will Know

Eve is all alone – no friends or family to turn towards, her boyfriend killed in a car accident, and his wealthy family wanting nothing to do with her, even after learning she is pregnant with his child.

Then she meets Zelde, a private secretary for Christopher and Julia Hygate, a wealthy, distinguished couple who are in need of a nanny. Despite the strange circumstances in which she meets Zelde and how too-good-to-be-true this offer seems, Eve agrees to the job, moving to the Hygate’s luxurious estate in an island off Tasmania. But very quickly things don’t seem right at all. Why isn’t Eve allowed to be seen outside their home? What do all the mysterious yachts that come to their bay mean? And why do Christopher and Julia seem so interested in Eve’s baby?

In this deliciously suspenseful and gripping thriller, Rose Carlyle feeds on our worst fears of what happens when we are totally alone and vulnerable to the evil intentions of others. Whilst it is easy for us, as the reader, to sit in the comfort of our home and scream at our protagonist to get out of there and save her and her baby’s life, it is crucial to understand that Rose, with no one left in her life, and still processing the loss and traumas of her past, can feel nothing but the painful yearning for a home and people to belong to.

No One Will Know is a fast-paced, compelling novel full of plot twists and shocking revelations, and a timer set as Eve’s pregnancy develops and the need to protect her child grows dangerously urgent. Exploring the anxieties of pregnancy and motherhood, greed and violence, this is not only a story of survival, but also of selfhood after trauma.
