The New Couple in 5b
The New Couple in 5b | Lisa Unger
12 posts | 16 read | 13 to read
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.

I am not a horror fan, but do enjoy a bit of supernatural and this book suited my tastes. I enjoyed the story and felt in some ways the creepy but elegant old apartment was the star of the book, as the atmosphere Unger created was so well done. I almost wished the book was illustrated and had floor plans. By the midway point I had trouble putting the book down, staying up way to late to finish it. Thank you Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. 4/5!

I loved so much of this book. The haunted apartment building. The homage to Rosemary's Baby. I wish it was a little more supernatural to make it perfect. However, then it wouldn't be an Unger book. I think is my favorite of her novels so far. 4.5 stars.

I loved this!!! It was so eerie and creepy. It held my attention and kept a very good pacing the whole time. I never felt that there was a really dull moment. But, I really wish it would have just leaned into the paranormal a little more. I was thinking of how things would end, and then it didn't end that way, and it was a little disappointing. 4.5/5

Hmmm, I started out liking this but began to lose interest as the murderery parts were told vs shown to the reader. Just when I thought this was a meh read things got twisty and the reader finally experiences crimes play out on Park Ave‘s Windermere Apartment. Note to Self: when I finally have the opportunity to move to NYC, find a loft in Brooklyn!

What I‘ve learned from these sorts of stories is this: DO NOT move into a luxury New York apartment, especially if you think of it as life-changing or a new start to your life! Don‘t try to start a new family in this apartment, don‘t get super cozy with those strange or overly nice neighbors…nothing good will come from it! This was twisty and dark and I loved the touch of supernatural. Kept me entertained and I listened to it in 2 days! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Read this one immediately after it came out but it missed the mark a little imo. Rosie and Chad are happily married artists. Chad is a soon to be famous actor and Rosie is a writer. After Chad's Uncle Ivan passes away, the couple inherit Uncle Ivan's beautiful apartment in the Windermere a luxurious, old NY uptown building. It's a dream come true for the couple, until Rosie starts noticing strange things happening. Fell short & was just okay. ⭐⭐⭐✨

Love her books and this one has it all: creepy basement, empty elevator shaft, tarot cards, con artists, and voices of the past. These all collide in a story reminiscent of Rosemary‘s Baby! Kept me up into the wee hours!
