The Girl in the Window by Diana Wilkinson
I know their secrets.
Every morning, I claim my spot at the same table in my favourite café, sipping my cappuccino while I observe them. The woman remains oblivious to my watchful eye, day after day, as I unravel the details of her life. I notice her smile when he arrives, the furtive glances she casts over her shoulder as if someone is hiding something crucial. She believes she's in control, but she has no idea that I'm onto them.
I know far more about the man. For starters, he is not who he pretends to be—his lies are as clear as day. There's more to this story than she realizes; I will never reveal the full extent of my knowledge. I already know plenty about him, but my insights have only deepened through my keen observations.
Why should he confide in me about what's happening? Because he's my husband. That's precisely why.
Diana certainly knows how to capture the reader's interest. All her stories draw you in, leaving you on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting the next twist.
This heart-stopping thriller includes all the right elements: lies, deceit, revenge, and red herrings to throw you off course. It's a brilliantly crafted story with a unique plot.
I am happy to recommend it. All of Diana's books are worth reading; her back catalogue is exceptional.
I want to thank publishers Boldwood Books, author Diana Wilkinson, and Rachel's Random Resources for providing a copy for me to read and review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved the synopsis to this book a lot but unfortunately it just wasn’t the thriller I was hoping for. Izzy is a young married woman who sits in a cafe watching a girl across the street and her young son. She watches because this woman is supposedly having an affair with her husband. What follows is, to me, predictable. I pretty much guessed the twists. A good thriller if you’re just getting into them but for a seasoned reader, not for me.

When I saw the synopsis on this one. I was really looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately it didnt live up to expectations. I couldnt connect with the characters and didnt really care what happened to them.

This is a very good psychological thriller by author Diana Wilkinson.

The novel, centres around Izzy and a story of betrayal, obsession, and the lengths one might go to uncover the truth.

Every morning, Izzy finds solace in her ritual of sitting in the corner of Angelo’s café, sipping her cappuccino, and observing the world outside. Her gaze often settles on a flat across the street, where a mysterious brunette and a man in cycling gear enact a routine that seems mundane yet intriguing. What starts as idle curiosity quickly morphs into something more intense when Izzy realises that the man she has been watching is her own husband, Jed.
The weekly visits, the intimate moments, and the subtle details Izzy pieces together send her into a whirlwind of suspicion and emotional turmoil. As she becomes the unsuspecting detective in her own marriage, Izzy must grapple with the unsettling knowledge of Jed’s secret life. The tension builds as she contemplates her next move, teetering between confrontation and silent endurance, all while trying to maintain the facade of normalcy in her daily life.

I really enjoyed my venture into this authors work and full intend to read more. The story is full of suspense as Izzy unravels what is really happening regarding her husband and his secret life.

“The Girl in the Window” is a well written psychological thriller full of suspense that explores the intricate dynamics of trust and deception within a marriage.
I would like to thank both Netgalley and Boldwood Books for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Izzy sits in the same table at her favourite cafe and watches the world go by people watching, only she is watching one couple in particular. A woman who lives in a flat opposite the cafe and her son. Izzy watches as a man visits nearly everyday, a man she knows very well, for this man is her husband! I couldn't wrap my head around now Izzy could sit and watch as her husband leads another life behind her back, without confronting him as soon as possible but the more you read the more the secrets and lies comes flying at you from all sides. Izzy comes across as a quiet person, almost timid to an extent but like I say she also has her secrets. This was a little slow at times but still held my attention.

Really enjoyed this book! Lots of twists and turns and constantly getting my theories wrong!Fast paced and I didn’t want to put it down

The book was good. It had to search with some turns to keep me going back the chapters were nice and short and I would have never guessed the twist.

This book started off great. I was so intrigued by the premise and the mystery behind it all. The book dragged a bit for me in the middle where it was a bit repetitive but still a good story line. There were a couple of twists that I enjoyed. Overall an okay read. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

I absolutely loved this book. It was exciting and thrilling. With plenty of twists. Such an easy read that will have you hooked unable to put this down.

I received an arc copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. I am not sure if I read other books by this author but this one was not for me. The main character was so annoying and I just felt like the book was too long. It didn't feel like a thriller at all.

I loved this story and right up to the end I was on the edge of my seat! This was my kind of book with characters that you love to hate and nonstop action. There was so much going on and I loved every second of it. If you like a twisty thriller, this one is for you.
Many thanks to the author and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

I have read and enjoyed many of Wilkinson's thrillers and just when I thought I'd read the best, along came The Girl in the Window.

Once you've started I can guarantee you won't want to stop! Wilkinson's writing drew me in from the opening chapters and took me on one helluva bumpy ride through duplicity, deception, and death!

A brilliantly twisty thriller with some great characters and an addictive plot. Loved it!

Another riveting read from this author.

Each morning, the young woman sits in the window of her favourite cafe watching what is going on nearby. She's not idly passing time, but is watching her husband visit another woman . . .

Such a gripping novel! Grabbed me from the start and kept me there, revealing it's secrets little by little and teasing with what I didn't know - yet. A thoroughly enveloping read and one I'm happy to recommend. 4.5*.

My thanks to the publisher for my copy via NetGalley; this is - as always - my honest, original and unbiased review.

Diana Wilkinson’s The Girl in the Window is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the shadowy corners of human relationships and the secrets people try to keep hidden. The story begins with a chilling premise: a young girl is spotted in a window, but when the protagonist investigates, the girl is nowhere to be found. This sets the stage for a suspenseful journey filled with twists, unreliable characters, and escalating tension.

Wilkinson crafts an atmospheric narrative, blending eerie descriptions with a sense of unease that permeates every page. The protagonist’s perspective is deeply immersive, pulling readers into her world of doubt, fear, and determination. Wilkinson’s ability to write flawed yet relatable characters adds depth to the story, making it as much about the psychological struggles of the characters as it is about the mystery itself.

The pacing is strong, with short, punchy chapters that keep the tension high and the reader guessing. Each revelation feels carefully timed, building toward a climax that is both surprising and satisfying. The themes of trust, deception, and the consequences of past actions are explored skillfully, adding layers to the narrative beyond the surface mystery.

One of the book’s standout features is Wilkinson’s exploration of the blurred line between perception and reality. The protagonist’s reliability is called into question, creating an additional layer of intrigue. This psychological complexity keeps readers engaged, as they must constantly reassess what they believe to be true.

While some secondary characters could have been more fully developed, their roles still serve to advance the plot and maintain the mystery. Additionally, the ending may feel slightly rushed to some readers, but it effectively ties together the narrative threads in a way that leaves a lasting impact.

The Girl in the Window is a compelling and atmospheric thriller that will keep readers turning the pages late into the night. Diana Wilkinson delivers a taut, emotionally charged story that fans of psychological suspense are sure to enjoy.

A 5 star read which was fast paced and gripping from the start and continued until the end. The plot was not obvious it kept me guessing to the end. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more of her books. I like her short chapters and the way she writes. If you like psychological thrillers this is a must.
Thank you to Boldwood books and Netgalley for am early copy to enjoy.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
This felt too long, a lot of it was repetition and nothing happening. Intriguing, but not bad overall. I was expecting more of a twost though.
Also good thing I read Wilderness because I would have been annoyed at the spoiler.

#TheGirlInTheWindow #NetGalley
Every morning, I sit at the same table of my favourite café, sip my cappuccino, and watch them. The woman has no idea I’m watching, day after day, unravelling the secrets of her life. I see the way she smiles when he arrives, how she glances over her shoulder… like someone who is hiding something. She thinks she’s in control, but has no idea I’m on to them… I know a lot more about the man. For a start, he’s not who he pretends to be – his lies are as plain as the nose on your face. There’s more to this story than meets the eye, a lot more than I’ll ever let on. I already know a lot about the man, but have learnt so much more from watching. Why do I think the man should tell me what’s going on? Because he’s my husband. That’s why.
Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for giving me an advance copy.

Izzy sits in a coffee shop each morning, watching as her husband visits another woman in the house opposite and there begins a tense psychological story which spirals ever more out of control. With a tightly woven plot the author weaves a story of intrigue and danger and with Izzy getting more and more involved in piecing together this mysterious relationship so she gets pulled ever further into a deadly game.
I really enjoyed reading this one and look forward to more from this talented writer
