No one will know : a novel / by Carlyle, Rose,author.;
They're the perfect couple. They have the perfect plan. All they need is the perfect victim. Julia and Christopher Hygate have the picture-perfect life: gobs of money thanks to their lucrative shipping enterprise and an estate on a secluded island. When they meet Eve Sylvester, they know she is the exact person they should hire to be their child's nanny. Eve doesn't have any living relatives, she's lost touch with her friends, and her partner is out of the picture. Best of all, she's expecting a baby. Eve thinks she's landed the greatest gig--previously desperate and penniless, now she'll live like a queen and have a promising future for her daughter. But the job seems too good to be true. Why would the Hygates hire Eve if she has no prior nannying experience? Why must Eve stay out of sight? And what's with the mysterious yachts coming in and out of the Hygates' private marina? It's too late to ask questions, though, Eve is already in far too deep. Set against the backdrop of a remote island, an endless stream of secrets, and unbelievable wealth, No One Will Know is a propulsive, seductive novel of suspense that shows the terrible consequences of shocking greed, staggering lies, and fatal mistakes.

"A small town hides big secrets in The Dry, an atmospheric, page-turning debut mystery by award-winning author Jane Harper. After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke's steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn't tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead. Amid the worst drought in a century, Falk and the local detective question what really happened to Luke. As Falk reluctantly investigates to see if there's more to Luke's death than there seems to be, long-buried mysteries resurface, as do the lies that have haunted them. And Falk will find that small towns have always hidden big secrets."--Provided by publisher.

No one knew Dr Sarah Fordyce was missing, until her husband's mutilated body is discovered in the family home, with a note nailed to his forehead, "Don't believe their lies!!!" Two weeks later, a city councillor disappears, and his murdered wife is found with the same words. Two weeks after that, it's a prominent local journalist who's vanished, his husband's corpse left as a twisted message board and the "Fortnight Killer" is the topic of daily headlines. Angus McVicar has only just made detective constable, and when he's assigned to the Major Inquiry Team hunting Oldcastle's newest serial killer it should be the perfect opportunity to prove himself. Only instead of being out on the front line, breaking the case, he's saddled with babysitting the forensic psychologist from hell, who's determined to drag him into a festering swamp of lies, delusions, and conspiracy theories. It's been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and Angus is running out of time. But he's heading into darkness, and there are monsters lurking there.
