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

Manhunt
By Lisa Scottoline

I live in Chester County, Pennsylvania, the location of a recent manhunt.
I’m not referring to my social life.
Me, I stopped manhunting.
I hung up my push-ups.
Now everything is falling down.
But I think of it as falling into place.

Love you so much… hilarious

Lisa my husband and I live in Chester County and I kept telling him this is just like a Lisa Scottoline novel.

Lisa, thank you for so eloquently putting into print how so many of us in Chesco feel. Living in Birmingham Twp in Chester County, it was pretty unnerving to walk out onto my deck, look up and see the PSP chopper circling right above my head, but I also work in law enforcement and knew we had the very best of the best working tirelessly to find Cavalcante. Two legged and four legged LEO’s, we are so grateful to all of you.

I hear ya, Lisa! I live very close to Longwood and it was so frightening. I think you should write the screenplay!

Very well said!! Thank you!! I will say that I was feeling kind of glad I no longer lived out there, though I was worried about all my friends in Chester County! Glad everyone is safe!🥰🦮

I live in southern PA so the manhunt was the top story for days. I thought if I was his height and weight I could easily climb a wall. I wondered if he went to one of those rock climbing places as a kid.

Love Lisa Scottoline Chester County Raised, so true !

Thank you Lisa! As usual you are spot on...and the humor is a bonus!

I'm just a few miles from where he was captured.

I also live in Chester County about 5 miles from where he was found. You’re absolutely correct; law enforcement did a phenomenal job.

I am so glad they found him after an exhausting search 24 hours a day.

Very well said Lisa! It has been a crazy harrowing experience these last few weeks living in beautiful Chester County but thankfully all ended well with no one else hurt My heart does bleed tho for the murder victim’s family and pray they can find peace too

Thank you for putting on 'paper' my thoughts during the two weeks he was on the run. I cannot imagine the logistics of organizing resources from so many different agencies. Bravo to all! 👏👏👏

Thank you for putting it all into perspective with a sense of humor!👍

Me too Lisa!!! 👍🏻😁

Well said. Love your columns each week.❤️

I live in Lincoln University and had to think twice about simply walking outside to trim my roses. Everything you’ve said is exactly right! Thank you.

So well said! Living in a county next to Chester County, we paid close attention to this situation. Thank you!❤️

One of my favorite of your Sunday stories . The line about goal weight made me laugh out loud . The millions ( it felt and looked like millions ) of law enforcement involved were incredible . They did their job and it was a success , that is the story and their legacy .

Very funny.. cousins by marriage!! Medagan that married Scottoline from 49th Street west philly.

I was thinking of you being out in Chester County with that crazy person being free. Glad things worked out.

Really hoping Yoda got a big juicy steak for his excellent police work!

Spot on!!

A dear friend of ours (yours too…. 🐘) lives just around the corner from Longwood. It was scary times.

I've told several out-of-town friends how hard it is to find things around Longwood! It's not the easiest terrain and there's not a lot of doorbell cameras. If Cavalcante had escaped in the city they'd have found him in 24 hours (so many prying eyes). I agree with you, the police did a good job. The escape was impressive. I'm thankful he was arrested and no one was harmed. I hope Yoda got an extra treat for doing a good job!
