"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.

Customer Reviews

I liked it but it left me wanting more.

I really enjoyed this book for the most part. The flashbacks to Willa's life to help with the background of the story was really helpful to building the story and the tension. The characters were interesting and I kept asking myself if they were good or bad. The first 75% of the book was really good, kept me on my toes, etc. The last 25% felt like the author just ran out of time and had to wrap up all of the story lines in a certain word count. I read this for book club and we discussed that this book might have been better as a series of novellas rather than one book to explain SO MANY different story lines. I think some of the smaller storylines left me wanting more, and that left me to not feel like the book was done, or it was rushed.
