Diana Wilkinson

Diana Wilkinson (née Kennett) was born and bred in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the height of the civil unrest. After graduating from Durham University with a degree in geography, she settled in England.

Diana spent most of her working life in the business of tennis development. A former Irish international player, Diana finally stepped off the court to become a full-time writer. The inspiration for much of her work has come from the ladies she coached over the years and from confidences shared over coffee.

Previously published by Bloodhound Books, Diana’s debut novel, 4 Riverside Close became an instant international bestseller. Since its release, she has gone on to write 9 more psychological thrillers which have been published by Boldwood Books. These titles include: The Couple in Apartment C; The Woman in my Home; Right Behind You; You are Mine; The Missing Guest; The Girl in the Window, as well as the Girl in Seat 2A which became an overnight sensation reaching number 1 in both the UK and Australia's charts. The Girl in Seat 2A is to be translated into several foreign languages later this year.

The sequel to The Girl in 2A, The Girl on the Balcony was released in July 2025, and Diana's next thriller, The Girl Before Me is coming out in July 2026.
