A couple inherits an apartment with a spine-tingling past in this unputdownable thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six.
Rosie and Chad Lowan are barely making ends meet in New York City when they receive life-changing news: Chad's late uncle has left them his luxury apartment at the historic Windermere in glamorous Murray Hill. With its prewar elegance and impeccably uniformed doorman, the building is the epitome of old New York charm. One would almost never suspect the dark history lurking behind its perfectly maintained facade.
At first, the building and its eclectic tenants couldn't feel more welcoming. But as the Lowans settle into their new home, Rosie starts to suspect that there's more to the Windermere than meets the eye. Why is the doorman ever-present? Why are there cameras everywhere? And why have so many gruesome crimes occurred there throughout the years? When one of the neighbors turns up dead, Rosie must get to the truth about the Windermere before she, too, falls under its dangerous spell.

        New Yorkers Rosie and Chad Lowan are struggling with their finances. Rosie had a bestselling book a few years ago but hasn’t written anything since. Chad is an aspiring actor looking for his next big break while also caring for his ailing Uncle Ivan.  When Ivan passes away, it is presumed that his estranged daughter, Dana, will inherit everything. In a surprise twist, Ivan leaves Chad and Rosie his luxury apartment located in the historic Windermere building. The site of the building was once home to The Church of the Holy Name before it burnt down. There is a history of grisly murders, strange accidents and bizarre deaths that have occurred at the century-old building, which Rosie is researching for her new book. While the couple can barely afford the upkeep on the new apartment, things start looking up when Chad lands a role in a new TV series. Rosie gets to work on her new book and has just received a lucrative contract.  Navigating through Dana’s outrage at being left out of the will, strange occurrences at the building, the weird doorman and the peculiar older couple next door; Rosie is becoming consumed with anxiety – even her husband is exhibiting strange behaviour.  The dual timelines from past to present are seamlessly interwoven and Unger cleverly drip feeds you tidbits while slowly and creatively peeling back the layers of the characters and life of the building.  The New Couple in 5B is a twisty, chilling, Gothic masterpiece that held me in suspense right from the start.  Reviewed by Linda Raiti    ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lisa Unger is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of twenty-one novels.
