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

Holiday Big
By Lisa Scottoline

Well, it’s that time of year again.
I mean, it’s time to meet with my accountant.
I do this every year around Christmas.
Usually, after Christmas shopping. 
It would make sense to talk to the accountant before Christmas shopping, but that would be no fun.

Have a blessed holiday with your family and friends

I speak to my accountant everyday. Unfortunately I’m married to him.

If working makes you happy, then keep on writing because I certainly enjoy your novels, as do thousands of others! Have a merry Christmas, Lisa!

Merry Christmas to you and your family including your pets

You have a great philosophy on life. Keep going.

Thanks for keeping us amused in so many ways Merry Christmas to you all!

Adorable! Merry Christmas to you, Francesca and your motley crew. I do not play pickle ball. Unlike a lot of my tennis playing, bicycle riding compadres, my body hurts - especially my knees. I’ll swim. When it’s summer again. 😉

Thank you, Lisa, for all of your wonderful stories!! Glad to hear that you love writing them because I love reading them!! Have a very Merry Christmas and hugs to your new puppy, Eve!! 🤗💕🌲

Happy Holidays to you and your daughter and adorable cavies! Thank you for your wonderful books- I don’t miss a single one ever!

Ok, my new NY’s resolution is to make better mistakes. Perfect, thanks. I suggest you don’t watch Buy Now on Netflix. Very very depressing for people who like to shop. Merry Christmas to you, your daughter, and the furries! 🎄🍷🐴🐈🐕‍🦺

So adorable… 🐶 God bless the new puppy! 💛
