Lindas Book Obsession Reviews “This Changes Everything” by Lisa Scottoline, Grand Central Publishing, July 14, 2026, On Tour with Suzy Approved Book Tours

WOW! Lisa Scottoline, the Author of “This Changes Everything” has written a powerful, captivating, and intense novel that kept me glued to the pages. The Genres in this amazing and well written book are : Thriller, Mystery, Suspense, Crime Mystery, Psychological Thriller, Friendship, Sisterhood, and Psychic Abilities Lisa Scottoline is a master of both writing and story telling. This is one book that I highly recommend to others. The author vividly describes the scenery, locations, plot, and complex and complicated characters. In this book there are betrayals, lies, secrets, racism, twists and turns, extreme danger, threats and murders. The locations are set in beautiful Tuscany and in rural Pennsylvania.

Julia Pritzker lives with her second husband and three year old in Tuscany. Julia sometimes will get premonitions, and calls her friend Courtney, who lives in Pennsylvania. While they are on the phone, Courtney’s grandmother is shot. Courtney runs outside to identify the killer. Julia goes to Pennsylvania to help Courtney with the funeral arrangements and to try and find the motive for this crime, and the person/s who committed it. Sometime Julia has psychic ability (although she is not sure how it works). Courtney’s husband will not be able to make it home for the funeral, and Julia feels it is important to emotionally support Courtney.

The Police force is not cooperative, and somehow antagonistic, and doesn’t seem to want to see justice served. There are threats and demands for Julia and Courtney to stop searching for information. The police are convinced it was a burglary that went wrong. Courtney and Julia went to school together, and Courtney had saved Julia from being attacked years ago. The Police are looking at Courtney as a suspect and Julia finds an attorney. There have been past murders, and now the body count is escalating.

I appreciate that the Author discusses the importance of justice and equality, as well as the importance of a strong emotional support system of friends to help you. This was such an exciting, intense, and captivating story. I loved everything about this book!
