This Changes Everything

Summary

In this "riveting, deeply felt and empowering thriller" (Laura Dave) from #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline, who "always delivers the fastest, twistiest reads" (Lisa Jewell), a woman risks her life to help her best friend find justice for a tragic crime.

Julia Pritzker loves her new life as a wife and mother in beautiful Tuscany—except that she misses her best friend Courtney, back in the States. One night, Julia calls Courtney and reaches her as she's arriving at her grandmother's farm in Pennsylvania. A dreadful premonition overwhelms Julia moments before Courtney enters the house—and makes a heartbreaking discovery. Her beloved grandmother has been murdered, and the killer is escaping out the back door. Rushing to support Courtney, Julia flies home the next morning. 

The local police believe the murder was a botched burglary, but the women suspect something much more sinister and enlist Bennie Rosato, the hotshot Philly lawyer, to assist. In addition, Courtney entreats Julia to trust her psychic intuition to point her to the missing pieces of this dark puzzle.

But in a town filled with explosive secrets, events take a deadly turn, and Julia becomes the target of a murderous conspiracy. She ends up fighting for her life, with no one to save her … but herself.

Only a blockbuster talent like Lisa Scottoline can tell this gripping and layered of a story, combining a woman's search for truth with the revelation of her own empowerment, as well as the enduring strength and joys of female friendship.
