ABOUT THE BOOK

The Unraveling of Julia

#1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline crafts a riveting psychological thriller in which a troubled young widow inherits a mysterious Tuscan estate, shrouded in secrets. Can she unravel the mystery before it unravels her? 

Lately, Julia Pritzker is beginning to think if she’s cursed. She’s lost her adoptive parents, then her husband is murdered. When she realizes that her horoscope essentially foretold his death, she begins to spiral. She fears her fate is written in the stars, not held in her own hands.

Then a letter arrives out of the blue, informing her that she has inherited a Tuscan villa and vineyard – but her benefactor is a total stranger named Emilia Rossi. Julia has no information about her biological family, so she wonders if Rossi could be a blood relative. Bewildered, she heads to Tuscany for answers.

There, Julia is horrified to discover that Rossi was a paranoid recluse with delusions of grandeur, who believed herself to be a descendent of Duchess Caterina Sforza, a legendary Renaissance ruler. Julia is stunned by her uncanny resemblance to Rossi and even to Caterina, then she unearths eerie parallels between them, including an obsession with astrology.

Before long, Julia suspects she’s being followed, and strange things begin to happen. Not even a chance meeting with a handsome Florentine can ease her disturbed mind. When events turn deadly, she breaks with reality.

Julia’s harrowing struggle becomes a search for her identity, a race to save her sanity, and ultimately, a question of her very survival.

EARLY PRAISE

Ghosts of Harvard is written with a masterly, focused hand, belying the fact that this is Serritella’s debut novel. The pages burn with frenetic energy and are peopled by memorable, compelling characters. The tension is palpable, the twists and surprises perfectly timed and the stakes as high as humans should be asked to endure. The end result, a novel you will long remember and characters you will want to see again. A triumph in every respect.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci

“Wow, what a lively, compelling, and intoxicating debut. Ghosts of Harvard is so many things—a rumination on grief, a glimpse behind the ivory walls of a famous institution, a poignant look at mental illness, and a powerful story about the ghosts that haunt us all. Francesca Serritella is my new ‘go-to’ author.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben

“Every time I thought I knew where Ghosts of Harvard was heading, I turned out to be wrong. Part mystery, part ghost story, part psychological thriller, this novel is all entertainment.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult

By Lisa Scottoline

Well, the weather has turned cold, and I’m back to my old habits. 
I’m sleeping in my clothes.
I don’t regard this as a bad habit. 
I actually think it’s a good habit.
Hear me out.
It’s fall now so that means I’m in a long sleeve T-shirt, a sweater, and sweatpants.
Francesca calls them my teddybear clothes. 
You cannot imagine how happy I am to be a teddybear. 
I walk around feeling huggable. 
And even hugged.

I have a couple seasoned friendships. Priceless

I have a bff who I’ve known for 44 years since my youngest was 18 months old. We can finish each other’s sentences too but neither of us make our own clothes!

My BFF and I met in 5th grade, 69 years ago!

I love everything about this from the sleeping in your teddy bear clothes and the ode to such a long term friendship!!! ❤️❤️❤️

OMG - Lisa I thought I was the only one who sleeps in their clothes and at times only takes showers well when I going out especially when it’s a Friday after work and I just want to stay in my house and chill with my dog - Rhys. It must be because we’re PA gals and luv our CKCS 🐶! Michele from Shillington

There's nothing better than being comfy in your own home.🤗💕💕

sweet

I have some besties where we are hitting 49 years I believe. I am happy to say even though we live in different states now I got to see all 3 of them the past year and a half. When I turned 60 in 2023 I was like that's it..gotta see the girls ! 🙂

Facts!

I love this Lisa!!! Yes girlfriends are the best! 55 years! Wow!! How wonderful ❤️🐾🩷🐾

As long as you’re happy, warm, and comfortable—that’s all that matters!

I love this! I would love to be admired as a teddy bear. There is at least one in every room of my house! They are a comfort -- maybe not as good as your puppies, but...

I had a friend from 6th grade and your spot on. No need for any fluff or anything. Any time we met it was us from school, no pretense and it was glorious. Friends for 50+ years and I miss her every day.

I am so blessed with the friends I have...some of them going back to junior high (I'm 78). It's such a wonderful, warm feeling whenever I'm with any of them!

❤️this

I have a friend who I met when we were both 5. We areboth 64, 59 years. I don’t have siblings, so when we get together it’s wonderful to talk with someone who knew my parents , someone who knew me when. We don’t see each other or talk much anymore, but when we do, it’s as if it was yesterday. In fact, I’m gonna text her right now! Thank you, Lisa for another wonderful column that warmed my heart ❤️

I’m still in contact with classmates from kindergarten and we graduated from high school in 1964. You do the math.

Such a fun post.

Loved the whole article. I believe in everything you wrote. You could be my sister from another mother.

I’m FB friends with a lot of friends from grade school but I have 3 ladies and one guy I consider my chosen family. My friend Stef from 3rd grade, 53+ years ago, Mary from freshman year of high school, 48+ years ago, and Ida & Dave , from freshman year in college, 44+ years ago. We text and unfortunately don’t get together often as we’d like but the ladies did yesterday for a play & dinner. It was like old times.

Long time friends are the best. I've had some for over 60 years. Sleep, eat live in whatever makes you comfy. Just don't stop writing.

I have 3 friendships that have lasted 65 years! They are very special to me as they know my history and we can start up right where we left off when we see/talk to each other even if it's been awhile. Teddy Bear clothes are the best! I call them my happy clothes, but I didn't make any of them!😆

True treasures our lifelong friends!

Excellent

I love this so much!!!
