No one will know A novel

In her second novel, Rose Carlyle brings readers a thriller with various twists. Eve Sylvester, a 24-year-old vagabond, is hoping to start a new life with her lover in Sydney, Australia, after having sailed with him across the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, a car crash brings an end to that plan and now Eve is pregnant, alone, broke, and homeless. In an improbable turn of events, Eve meets rich couple Julia and Christopher Hygate on (fictional) Breaksea Island, and they offer to adopt Eve's baby and offer her employment as nanny to the child. Eve begrudgingly agrees and thus sets in motion years of gaslighting and manipulation, along with the mystery of the truth behind the adoption. There is so much happening in this book, with multiple time skips, that the plot ends up feeling far-fetched. Eve is frustratingly naive, the scenes are abruptly transitioned, and the dialogue is often awkward. However, the story is fast-paced and will keep the reader interested until the end, as Eve finally pushes for answers and fights to protect her child.
