About this listen

"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.

A little bit of Rosemary’s Baby mixed with The Shining

The story was great, the narrator was excellent. A little bit of suspense, horror and mystery with a bit of supernatural happenings equals a very good read.

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.

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.

Performer was a mismatch

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

The narrator

Vivienne Lehaney is my favorite narrator. She is so talented, does so many voices and does men so well. I listen to everything she has narrated. Lisa Unger is obviously very intelligent and knows how to put together an unputdownable thriller. I’m not a fan of the paranormal, but she us a master at the domestic psychological thriller that is perfect for a long car ride, house cleaning, and errands, but the underlying intelligence of her novels resonate and are not geared toward listeners satisfied with ordinary junk

The similarity to Rosemary’s Baby

I felt like so much of this book was taken from Rosemary’s Baby. The setting, Charles and Ella, Chad’s profession, the soup, the pregnancy, the necklaces. It was not original writing. Now, if you haven’t watched Rosemary’s Baby multiple times like I have then you may like this book just fine.

Lisa Unger is an auto-buy!

After reading quite a few books featuring haunted apartments in NYC, I was hoping for a different plot, and Lisa Unger delivered! Though there were plenty of creepy and supernatural elements, she also provided enough facts to convince the skeptics. Sweet Rosie, our protagonist... Sometimes I really wanted to yell at her, but hey, we had a ghost for that! She was caught between a rock and a hard place, dealing with a lot of personal history, the man-child Chad, and his wild ambitions. She did well!

This was a great read and I highly recommend checking it out!
