Rose Carlyle

Author

Rose Carlyle is a New Zealand-born author whose debut thriller The Girl in the Mirror became an international bestseller and announced the arrival of a major new voice in psychological suspense fiction. The novel tells the story of identical twin sisters with a complicated, competitive relationship who become entangled in a deadly game... of deception when a vast inheritance is at stake, set against the stunning backdrop of a sailing voyage across the Indian Ocean. Carlyle drew on her own experience as an avid sailor and adventurer to create a thriller that is as vivid in its nautical settings as it is twisting in its psychological complexity. Her writing is characterised by propulsive plotting, atmospheric descriptions of sea and tropical landscapes, and a deep understanding of the intense, sometimes destructive dynamics of sibling relationships. The Girl in the Mirror has been praised for its originality, its breathless pace, and its ability to keep readers guessing through multiple layers of deception and revelation. Carlyle studied law and philosophy at the University of Auckland, and her analytical mind is evident in the precision of her plotting and the intellectual games she plays with reader expectations. The novel appeals to fans of Liane Moriarty, Megan Abbott, and Ruth Ware who enjoy smart, atmospheric thrillers with complex female characters. The Girl in the Mirror is available as an audiobook, offering listeners a gripping, sun-drenched thriller that is impossible to stop listening to. Read more Show less
