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

Same here in Landenberg. My pup takes one step out the door and tries to figure out how do I do this now? He  figured it out and had a blast running around in the snow..

Here in Boalsburg… Pennsylvania.. heading to 16 inches.. still snowing..

Column Classic: Snow Job
By Lisa Scottoline

Today, we discuss regret.  Which I have, in spades, of late.
I don’t regret something I bought, which is called buyer’s remorse.  I regret something I didn’t buy, and I don’t know what that’s called.  
Cheapskate’s remorse?  
Or just plain dumb?
I didn’t buy the thing in question because it was expensive and I thought I could do without it, but after doing without it for ten years, I find myself full of regret.  I made a mistake.  I wish I’d bought one.  I yearn for one.  I even fantasize about one.
Odd.
I used to lust after men, or jewelry.  Thoughts of either could keep me up all night.  Men bearing jewelry would be ideal.  Men wearing jewelry would not.
But neither of those things is the object of my fantasy, anymore.  There’s only one thing I don’t have that would really turn me on.  
Nowadays, my idea of a sex toy is a snowblower. 
Oh baby.
I want it so bad, it’s good.

OMG - mine sat for 10 years from the last big snow storm. Enough was enough, my brother-in-law saved the day got it working again and I already did my first passes outside no problem in Shillington, PA.

Us two women.. we ended up with a John Deere, self propelled snowblower/throwblower whatever.. it was the best investment (actually a gift from her Dad who loves John Deere as well). We loved ours!

Never got a snow blower but I pay for a local landscape company to plow my driveway and shovel my walkways when it is over 2”. So when it is less, I have to clear my driveway or find a young teen to do that shoveling.

My husband bought one that only went backwards. They wanted him to return it to the store but he couldn’t fit it in his car. Finally they came and replaced it. He never had to use at the house so we gave it away when we bought a condo.

You get to use today, Lisa!!

10yrs ago I gave mine to my son. He has 5 sons. He pays someone to shovel. I want it back, lol

My husband's gone through a couple of them. For him, I think they are sex toy!😳😂

So funny! We also put off buying a snow blower (thrower—🙄same thing!). Finally gave in and then moved south! 😂

I hear Bradley Cooper has one for sale.

Your essays make my Sundays!!🥰

You are humorous as always. I hope it is working well for you. I live in a condo and no plowing until constant snow today ends.

Hope the snowblower works well!!!

We have a snow thrower. Much lighter than a snow blower and it works great.

We have one but alas no snow in Idaho.

You’re going to get to test it tonight and tomorrow! Maybe you could head down the road and help me get my car out before Tuesday! Exton got hit hard too!

I can totally relate to this.

I bought my husband a self propelled snowblower in February before a big snow. He says it’s the best Valentine’s gift ever!
