Sofia Costa Mysteries #1
The Drowning Season
To hunt a killer in paradise, Sofia Costa must use every skill Interpol ever taught her—and stop a murderer who’s been watching from the start.
Sofia Costa is no ordinary investigator. A former Interpol forensic polyglot turned luxury travel security consultant, she’s brilliant, solitary, and trained to blend in anywhere. When a discreet message summons her to the legendary Hotel Miramare high above the Amalfi Coast, she expects a petty theft. What she finds is far more sinister.
Priceless heirlooms are being returned as if the thieves had a change of heart. A young woman is found dead in the infinity pool. And every guest—from billionaires to art collectors—has something to hide.
As secrets surface and old ghosts stir, Sofia must outwit a killer hiding in paradise, navigate tangled histories, and confront the one mystery she’s never her own.
Lush, gripping, and atmospheric, The Drowning Season is the first book in the Sofia Costa mystery series—perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Tana French, and Elle Gray.

About the author
Georgia Wagner
85 books120 followersHaving worked on projects with New York Times Bestsellers and USA Today bestsellers, Georgia Wagner recently hit #1 bestseller with her newest series. Location and character are two big factors for Georgia, and getting those right allows the story to flow seamlessly onto the page. And flow it does, because Georgia is so prolific a new term is required to describe the rate at which nerve-tingling stories find their way into print.
When not found attached to a laptop, Georgia likes spending time in local arboretums, among the trees and ponds. An avid cultivator of orchids, begonias, and all things floral, Georgia also has a strong penchant for art, paintings, and sculptures. A many-decades-long passion for mystery novels and years of chess tournament experience makes Georgia the perfect person to pen the Artemis Blythe series. That's where it all started, but the drive to craft thrilling mystery tales soon demanded new characters in new locations.
Where will she take us next?

I enjoyed the setting of this story more than anything. I can't put my finger on it, but this story was just basic and didn't grab me. I was surprised how long it took me to get through such a short book. The cliff hanger at the end launched me into the second book, which I'm hoping I'll enjoy more!
