The New Couple in 5B: A Chilling Thriller of Inheritance and Dark Secrets in a Luxurious New York Apartment

In Lisa Unger’s chilling thriller, a young couple inherits an apartment with a terrifying secret history.

Rosie and Chad Lowan, struggling financially in New York City, are stunned when Chad’s late uncle leaves them his luxurious apartment at the historic Windermere in Murray Hill—a building known for its old-world glamour and impeccable charm. At first, life in their new home seems perfect, surrounded by elegant neighbors and attentive staff.

But soon, Rosie begins to sense that something sinister lurks beneath the Windermere’s polished exterior. The ever-watchful doorman, the constant surveillance cameras, and the building’s dark past filled with gruesome crimes raise unsettling questions. When a neighbor is mysteriously murdered, Rosie realizes that the Windermere’s secrets may be far deadlier than she imagined.

Now, she must uncover the truth behind the building’s haunted legacy before it claims her as its next victim.

A gripping, atmospheric mystery, The New Couple in 5B (or similar title) delivers Lisa Unger’s signature blend of psychological tension, urban gothic atmosphere, and spine-tingling suspense.
