The New Couple in 5b

Lisa Unger

"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.

Praise for this book

"If The Shining's Overlook Hotel were a luxury apartment building, it might resemble The Windermere--architecturally stunning, a tribute to a gilded past, yet deeply sinister. I was terrified the moment Rosie and Chad moved in. The New Couple in 5B is another thrilling, twisty hit from master of suspense Lisa Unger." --Ana Reyes, New York Times bestselling author of The House in the Pines

"Lisa Unger never misses, so it's no surprise that I loved her newest thriller. The New Couple in 5B is dark, atmospheric, and addictive from the first page right up until the shocking ending. An absolutely riveting read from one of the genre's best--just remember to breathe." --Jennifer Hillier, USA TODAY bestselling author of Things We Do in the Dark

"The tension just keeps building in Unger's latest dark and twisty delight. Come for the gonzo plot, but stay to be haunted by a history-soaked old New York apartment building that feels more like a sinister character than a setting, and for bright, ambitious, clear-eyed Rosie, whose voice stuck with me long after I turned the final page. I loved it, and you will, too." --Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of With My Little Eye

"Lisa Unger keeps finding new ways to prove she's among the best in the business. Packed with heart, tension, and fever-dream fear, The New Couple in 5B delivers domestic suspense with a gleaming Gothic edge that would make the great Ira Levin proud." --Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of An Honest Man

"Lisa Unger writes with the totality of her heart--and her wickedness. The New Couple in 5B has both on glorious display. Who else could artfully marry a nail-biting domestic suspense novel with a ghostly edge worthy of Du Maurier? This one screams. I read it in a single sitting." --Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of Lone Wolf

"Lisa Unger creates the perfect creepy setting for this superb psychological thriller, which is beautifully crafted and deliciously unsettling. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." --Clare Mackintosh, New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Lies
