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.

Good

Story was good performance was good. Overall, enjoyable and entertaining, I feel like the author could do without the gratuitous sex passages. It doesn’t add anything to the story, and frankly it kind of cheapens it. But overall it was a good book I liked it. 

Had me in a chokehold!

Had me guessing throughout the book! Just when I thought I knew... bam! A new twist!

I loved the writing style

I felt like I could see the characters. I felt as if I knew them. The twists and turns in this book were very interesting.

loved it!

this was very good. kept me interested. enjoyed the narrator. she did a great job.

Performer was a mismatch

Voice artist sounds muuuuuch older than the protagonist is. And like AI! Very distracting although I still enjoyed the story.
