Publisher Description
"Spine-tingling fun." —People
“Lisa Unger, you’ve done it again.” —Sarah Michelle Gellar, Emmy Award-winning actress
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.

Best book ever!
This has been the best book I’ve probably ever listened too!
Great read!
Enjoyed every minute of this book. Great narrator as well.
Gripping Thriller
This is my first book by Lisa Unger and it did not disappoint. I thought it would be a traditional domestic thriller but it had a bit of a supernatural element to it which I loved! First, I knew the husband and the doorman couldn’t be trusted. Secondly, I love how the characters of the past were intertwined with the current characters living at the Windermere and in Rosie’s subconscious. I was totally surprised at Rosie’s willingness to blindly believe her husband’s lies and troubled past. I felt like the plot twists were very polished, and that the author did a fantastic job of keeping us (the reader) intrigued and constantly off the scent of the actual “murderers”. Additionally, I would’ve liked the author to touch on more of the “occult” aspect or the supernatural aspect of the building a little more to really make this a more creepy and terrifying tale! However. I totally loved it and appreciate the sophisticated writing.
Thanks to #netgalley for approving this title!
