The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger Book Review

Book Synopsis: A couple inherits an apartment with a spine-tingling past in this binge-worthy 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.

💭 Review: “I really enjoyed this book! I went back and forth so many times about who the “villain” was, and I was surprised many times by unveiled secrets.

This book could have been faster-paced to keep me on my toes more but overall, it was a good read! I will say the first few hours were on the faster side and it had me hungrily listening any chance I got but I felt like towards the middle it slowed it’s pace a bit.

The book did have some nods to paranormal activity and *woo woo* things but I felt like it fit just fine in this book! If you’re someone who rolls your eyes at that kind of thing then this book may not be for you.”
