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

What’s A Girl To Do?
By Lisa Scottoline

I’m powerless.
Literally.
Not because I’m living in a country roiled by crazy politics, climate change, or agita in general.
I mean I got no electricity.
And I can’t get no satisfaction.
Tell you why.

My blood pressure just went up reading this...

That’s horrible - I didn’t even know you could get a power surge.🤔🤦🏼‍♀️

I think you need to get an electrician for a roommate!

I’d install a wind turbine and disconnect from the grid!!

You should date He-Man. He has THE POWER!!!!! 🤣

Such a sad story! Maybe live off-grid!

So frustrating. Unreal. Never heard of so many power surges. Must be the grid not your house

Power company should look into the grid

I lose power often but, my goodness, not the way you do. That’s terrible and very costly. 😢

Wow, you have really messed up wiring or something.

We lose power a lot too but if it happens more than a couple times a year we can claim damages and the electric company reduces our bill. You should look into seeing if yours will help since it's their fault your appliances are fried

Ugggh........

I feel your pain. I hope someone finds a way to stop all of this. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sooo sad. Hopefully someone can help.

Very frustrating for you, but you make it entertaining for us!😑

Same here. Like wth, there's a little puff and blink goes the power. I'm so tired of it.

omg that’s awful!!!!

I have the same problem. It’s so ridiculous. How many power surge protectors does one need????

I’m amazed. I live right down the road from you and haven’t even had lights flickering!

Amen

Good luck!!!!

Good heavens!!!
