Izzy sits in the same cafe every day from when it opens at 7.30am. She sits and watches the flat across the street and the man who goes into it every morning. That man is her husband, but what is he doing there. A good read that you will want to find out what happens.
Total rating 3 1/2 stars

Hallelujah, it's over, I thought it would never end! What a depressing, slug fest! I am sorry, but this book should never be published in this condition! I am a Classic fanatic, Rebecca, Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, PD James, Mary Higgins Clark, this book I am sorry to say is not a psychological thriller either, it would never fit in Alfredo Hitchcock's world either. I have never been this brutal about a book in my life, I am sorry, but there it is. The protagonist is nuts, there is nothing redeeming about her, and if this is the future of the publishing world, then I am happy to say I have thousands of good books that I can reread at any time.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Girl in the Window by Diana Wilkinson due to be published December 13, 2024.
Every morning Izzzy sits in the café looking out the window and watching a woman and a man. He goes into her apartment, hugs her son, and thinks no one is watching. But, Izzy is watching – because the man is her husband.
This book had me guessing until the very end – a tale of deceit, lies, and revenge. So many secrets by many of the characters – it was hard to tell who were the “good guys” until the end – and maybe not even then! It was a fast-paced, edge of your seat thriller that had me hooked from the beginning!

I loved this book! I read it in one sitting and was so invested in the unique plot. I really enjoyed this author’s book previous book, but I think this is even better. It’s a fabulous domestic thriller that I’d strongly recommend.

The Girl in the Window was such an amazing read!! Gripped from the start, I kept getting pulled deeper and deeper into this story.

Izzy and Jed have been married for two years and she thinks she is finally happy and can put her abusive childhood behind. Until the day she sees something that leaves her unsettled all over again. From that point on it becomes an obsession. She knows Jed is lying to her but she can't figure out why. Unbeknownst to him, she starts following him and watching him. She is determined to find out why he did such a sudden about face and started keeping secrets from her. After learning some of Jed's secrets, she finds herself in too deep to turn back.

The storyline was very interesting and had many twists to it. It kept me turning the pages well into the night. I needed to see where this was going. The characters were likeable and realistic.

Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for the advanced copy

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an early copy of The Girl in the Window. Very strange plot, weird. I LOVED The Girl in Seat 2A and I was very excited to read her next book but it was different. Too many lies, not having conversations when you should (I understand because of her childhood) but still it didn’t sit right with me. I did LOVE the small chapters, that was great. All I can say is that it was a weird book.

Hmmmmm let me see. This book? I didn't know how it would be. I didn't really connect with seat 2a but I wanted to give this one a chance. Am I glad I did? Absolutely! There is deceit, lies, twists turns. Really how would u act if your husband was seeing a different woman thinking you knew nothing yet you was watching.? Maybe read it to find out. 😏

The premise for this book was really good - Izzy sits at a cafe every day, watching a house across the street. Most days, a man will ride up on a bike, and go inside with the woman and her toddler. Nothing odd about that, except for one thing: the man is her husband, Jed.

Izzy is a quiet person because of her upbringing. Her father was a priest who was abusive to her and her mother, and didn’t let them speak. For years, she was only allowed to write notes to her parents, and now she has trouble talking to people. Jed understands though, and has always been good to her. Now though, she’s out for revenge. Her husband is a liar, and she wants to know why.

As I mentioned, the premise for this book was good, but the execution was lacking. The writing was slightly immature, as were the characters, who felt very one-dimensional. The story lacked flavor and color; the shocks weren’t that shocking and the ending wasn’t that exciting. The read was easy and quick, but I don’t know…something was missing, This is my first book by the author, so I’m not sure if this is their normal writing style, but it wasn’t quite up to what I would consider a four-star book. I’m going with 3.5 for this one.

(Thank you to Boldwood Books, Diana Wilkinson and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review. This book is slated to be released on December 13, 2024.)

This is my first book by this author WOW!!

I have absolutely no idea how to review The Girl in the Window without spoiling it... all I can say is.... cancel all your appointments!! I read this book in one sitting it's fun, it's fact-paced, a total page turner!!

My first book by this author and it is a thrilling psychological read. Every day Izzy sits in her favourite cafe, people watching through the window, when she spots her husband knocking on the door across the street and is greeted by a woman kissing him. When Izzy questions him, she is given nothing but lies. Izzy is determined to uncover the truth and this book will keep you guessing until the end when nothing is what is seems.

Thank you Netgalley & the publisher for the ARC copy of this book! The first book by this author, but certainly not my last! A quick read I did really enjoy and which kept me guessing the whole time. I did enjoy the short chapters, I always feel like reading faster when the pages do fly like this. It was also hard to put it down and I would have finished it in one sitting, but I also needed of course to sleep and work.

Without wanting to spoiler too much, I can say that the story is about Izzy, who is watching people from her spot in the coffee shop every day. One of those people turns out to be her husband. And another is the woman her husband is meeting there...

The twist had my jaw on the floor and I am now looking foward to read another book by Diana Wilkinson soon!

I found this book an easy read but quite slow and it did drag on but I did persevere and the last few chapters were at a better pace and a conclusion reached. I did not feel there was much depth to the story but I did finish it.

Incredible. Put my life on hold to finish this book. Would even go as far to suggest I preferred it over The Girl in Seat 2A. I cannot wait to recommend this to every mystery thriller lover I know. Excited to see what Diana Wilkinson follows this with.

What a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive - and this web is a thick one! Everyone has secrets and lies are everywhere - a fast moving and engaging mystery.

4 stars - loved the setting of her sitting in a coffee shop watching everything that happens across the street. Great twists and some wacky decisions made this one different from other similar books.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

When I read the first page I knew this would be the kind of books I love. This book felt like a roller coaster. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. For any one that likes thrillers and mysteries then you need to pick up a copy. I highly recommend thiis book.

Every day I sit at my favorite cafe 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! Great read! Lots of double crossing and gaslighting in this book! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood books for sharing this book with me!

This is a brilliant and gripping thriller that keeps you guessing all the way through. With plenty of shocking twists and turns, it's a great read. Loved it!

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the eARC.
Izzy sits in the window of a cafe and watches a woman across the street interacting with her husband. This woman also has a small son. Is her husband having an affair and is the little boy his son?
The story ratchets up more and more tensely and I thought I could figure out what was going on, but no, I was wrong.
It's a good book with a surprising ending that was both tense and enjoyable.

The intriguing premise of this book sucked me in. A woman sits in a coffee shop every morning and watches as her husband visits who she believes to be his mistress. And her young son. Is the boy his? The drama and suspense that ensues throughout the entire book kept me engaged as I tried to uncover the mystery to find out the truth behind everything that happened. The pace of this book was a bit slow for me, especially in the middle but overall an enjoyable reading experience.
