I loved The Girl in Seat 2A and this is a super sequel. I was flipping the pages well into the night, and highly recommend..

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc.

Thanks to the author for a copy of this book and also to Netgalley and the publisher who also allowed me an advanced copy.

This is another fast paced thriller and a great follow in from the previous novel by this talented author. The story is told over short chapters with a great momentum and the characters are engaging and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen.

Great thriller and a rave to the end to see who dunnit- the best of endings where I had no clue!

Highly recommend this and would encourage readers to read the previous book first for better understanding and content.

This one caught me slowly...but once it did.. wow. Great plot, fascinating characters and so much happening. I didn't see the end coming but it was great.

This is one of those novels that keep you reading long into the night as it's just crazy enough to be true but somehow you don't want it to be! Jade works at a luxury resort in Spain and Hayley is a journalist, And the guests?? They are even more bizarre than the women! Hidden cameras, murder...what's not to love?!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

The sequel to the girl in seat 2A. Another great fast paced read. A book that I read in one sitting.
Total rating 3 1/2 stars

Enjoyed this book. I thought it lost it's way about halfway through the book.

Minor detail of the past episode with George really ought to have been explained a little more. Otherwise an easy read.

I enjoyed this story more than expected, even after realizing that it was a sequel to a different book, The Girl in Seat 2A, that I haven’t read. You don’t really need to have read the first one, but you would understand more of the references.

Jade is living and working at a luxury resort in Spain, barely getting by due to low occupancy and high fees associated with the living space. She keeps referencing some event in the past that she’s trying to get away from, and there do seem to be people following her. She had to rent out her apartment, leaving her with nowhere to live. She crashes in a client’s villa as he’s not expected back for several months. And then he returns early. Yeah, that doesn’t go over well.

Elsewhere, Hayley is a journalist waiting for that big story, who hears a crazy story from her boyfriend, Teddy, who’s been away traveling. He’s hired by a fellow passenger on the flight home to be her personal assistant/houseboy/escort. Oh, she also happens to be a filthy-rich member of a royal family in Europe. And Teddy swears she confessed to murdering her husband. It doesn’t stop him from accepting the position and passing on any and every detail that he can to Hayley. But when the communication slows, she wonders if he’s gotten into something that he won’t get out of alive.

It's definitely a story you can’t take too seriously, what I would call a breezy beach read. But I couldn’t put it down! There’s a good twist that I knew had to be coming, and it kept the action flowing. It’s a fun book, and I’ll probably go back and read The Girl in Seat 2A, because I like this author’s writing and would like to see how this crazy story all began!

My first book by this author and I was curious.

What I had overlooked is that this is a sequel to another book, and that’s obviously my own fault. Had I noticed that, I wouldn’t have picked it up without first reading the previous story. At first, it didn’t really stand out to me, but as I read on, I started to question things. I thought the explanation would come later, but no — I should’ve already known it.

Can the book be read as a standalone? Yes, in a way, but you definitely miss out on some things.

I’m a big fan of Spain, and the fact that the story is set there was a plus for me.
Sometimes you’re sitting somewhere and you (perhaps unconsciously) listen to people’s conversations around you. Often they’re about everyday things, but in this case, it’s different. And when that reaches the ears of a reporter, it’s only natural that her interest is sparked and she wants to get to the bottom of it. But of course, in this case, that comes with risks.

What I also really liked were the short chapters — they constantly pushed me to keep reading. It was an intriguing story and it definitely made me think, but personally, I prefer thrillers with a bit more punch.

What I found a little confusing was the timeline; at times, I felt something was being told in the present, and a little later it would delve into what, in my opinion, had happened earlier. I also didn’t always understand the structure of the story. That made it feel a bit confusing at times.

It’s an ideal book to read by the poolside and it did include a surprising twist, but it just wasn’t entirely my cup of tea. 3 stars..

Thank you

This was a heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat! It was fast paced, edge of the seat thriller that was extremely well executed. I was gripped from the very first page!

I loved the characters and the storyline. I recommend reading this book straight away definitely 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Boldwood Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read this e-arc.This is a sequel to The Girl in Seat 2A.I suggest reading the first book so you get a glimpse into the backstory.This book continues to follow Jade, who is now in real estate in Spain. However, she’s not having an easy time.

The sequel to The Girl in Seat 2A.
Superb writing from this talented author.
Two central characters and a host of others.
The twists are huge and some i certainly didn't see coming.
A real thrilling thriller!
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

“The Girl on the Balcony” is a sequel by Diana Wilkinson. I had just finished reading the first book - The Girl in Seat A2 - and I strongly recommend reading that book before this one as it helps with some of the missing backstory. This book continues to follow Jade, who is now in real estate in Spain. However, she’s not having an easy time … as seems to be rather typical of her situation. I don’t know if I missed something but for the longest time I was confused about the timeline (it was almost as if part was present day and the other part was a few months in the past). Overall, I found the short chapters once again good for pacing as this book is, in general, a rather quick read (once the characters are established, along with their motives). I didn’t find this book as tightly written as the first book in the series, so overall it was an okay read. However, I think that if you’ve liked Ms. Wilkinson’s other books and/or really liked the first book in this series, do give this follow-up a try.

Great fast paced book!!! Love a book that starts from overhearing conversations. This lead to a place I honestly didn't see coming. Great thrill of a ride!


Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an early release of this book.

Jade is in Spain, trying to make a living as a real estate agent, but things are not going her way. She has very little money, and no where to live as she has rented out her own place to try and bring in some cash. Her options are few and she feels that her past is catching up with her, someone knows what she did, and maybe is coming for revenge.
Hayley is a journalist, always searching for the next big story. When her boyfriend returns home, and tells her an interesting comment he overheard on the plane regarding a murder confession, Hayley is interested and excited, and wonders if this could be her scoop. Hayley goes to Spain to discover as much as she can, but finds out she could have made a huge mistake.
This is a fantastic psychological thriller, the plot twists kept me turning the pages, eager to find out more. There were clues, but also red herrings, and I did not foresee the ending at all. A really enjoyable read. Thank you for my advance copy.

Another book that starts on a plane! Teddy gets an offer from Astrid to basically be her maid/right hand man. When Teddy tells his gf that he overheard Astrid say she killed her husband, Hayley wants the story to make her career huge! So she goes undercover after she meets Astrid to chase down Jade for the truth.
Meanwhile jade is barely getting by and trying to sell condos for money. More people from her past that want revenge show up and jade doesn’t know who she can trust. I really enjoyed this sequel, however I liked the first book better. This was a quick read. I did forget a lot from the first book, so maybe a quick summary at the beginning would be good!
