Ben H. Winters
From New York Times best-selling and Edgar Award-winning author Ben H. Winters, this supernatural thriller about a real-estate nightmare will make you think twice about your dream home.
Susan and Alex Wendt have found their dream apartment in a gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone.
Sure, the landlady is a little eccentric. And the elderly handyman drops some cryptic remarks about the basement. But the rent is so low, it’s too good to pass up.
Big mistake. Susan awakens every morning with fresh bug bites, but neither Alex nor their daughter, Emma, has a single welt. An exterminator searches the property and turns up nothing. The landlady insists her building is clean. Susan fears she’s going mad—until she makes a chilling discovery in the bonus room.
Filled with Hitchcockian suspense, The Bonus Room is a horrifying tale of a dream home that becomes a nightmare.
Previously published in 2011 as Bedbugs.

We follow Susan, her husband Alex and her bubbly little girl Emma as they move into an amazing Brooklyn apartment that seems almost too good to be true. Susan slowly becomes paranoid that maybe it really is.
Some might be turned off by the ending but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Listened in one day.
Excellent book about a slow descent into madness

Having lived in NYC for a while, I really related to this audiobook right from the start. From the amazing place the family finds to rent, to the small details of just walking through the neighborhood. You really feel like you are there with them. Which can be an awesome experience and not so much. LOL
I came across this novel after discovering Ben H Winters when a friend recommended The Last Policeman Series to me. After that series, I moved on to listening to Self Help, Strannger and Q&A. All I highly recommend. He is so talented and has a wonderful talent with words that is rare to find. His writings have a way of staying with you long after you have finished his work.
This novel was so gripping and (at times) almost made me start itching. It is a slow journey into unsettling territory, all the while really wanting the lead character to figure out what is going on inside their new place. I found the husband, Alex and their daughter so charming at times. I don't want to give away too much, but it had me looking forward to dealing with L.A. Traffic just so I could keep listening.
The narration was wonderful, and she slayed it. Changing her voice just enough so you always knew who was talking and what was narration. She really brought all the emotions to this, sometimes, very emotional story.
This would be a great audiobook on a road trip or stuck in traffic. I also imagine that if you listen to it while cleaning, you may actually clean your place better than you have in a while. Five stars all around!
Gripping and Haunting!
