Ella Porter FBI #4
Girl Lost at Sea
Two skeletons are found with arms wrapped in an infinite embrace, discovered at the bottom of the sea.
The corpses of a young couple are discovered in a crabbing cage off the coast of Alaska. Someone is murdering young married couples, and his taunting notes to the police call his next shot. He promises to next kill Nome's sweethearts—Priscilla Porter and Chief Baker.
With her sister and brother-in-law threatened, FBI Agent Ella Porter is serving out her banishment in the small, gold-mining town, and is now faced with enemies from every direction. A tycoon of a father who wants her dead. An internal investigation that wants her job. And now a murderer striking the shores of the small, wilderness town she once called her home.
Against this tidal wave of opposition, she's forced to use every ounce of cunning and training to outwit and outlast. And through it all, she's determined to bring this new, demented murderer to shore.

About the author
Georgia Wagner
114 books147 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?

What a messed up family 🤔🤔
April 15, 2023
Something I dislike
Too many unanswered questions, yet there are no answers. Stories that are only half of a story. This continuing saga leaves so many open ended puzzling unknowns. Disappointing

Ella has always hated the water. The Bering sea is too unforgiving. Skeletons are found in a crab pot, and she has to help figure out who put them there before more end up the same way. Some psycho is playing a deadly game, and Ella doesn't know the rules.
Intense action. I wouldn't suggest reading right before bedtime. Eek, it kept me up till I finished!

This is the 4th in the series and can't wait until the next one comes out. Ella Porter, FBI Agent is still in Nome, AK. She was sent there because on her last case with the FBI, she let an serial killer get away and now they are sending her to Nome. This always happens to be where Ella is from. She hasn't talked and seen her family in 12 years!! Not only that, but her father wants her dead!
On this case, she is still working with Brenner Gunn, who she met when she was a teenager and never stopped loving. Brenner is a US Marshall and they work cases together. On this one, skeletons are being found in the ocean. Only through dental work can they be identified, but it is a couple and they seem to be embraced in their death. Now Ella receives a video with a countdown of 2 hours. Two more victims will be found dead in the same way.
Ella and Brenner must work this one along with fighting along the way with Ella's father. Who is behind the killings and the videos? And now the next video says they are going to take Ella's sister!
Can't wait for the next one!!

The kind of story that catches your breath!
This story left the hairs standing up on the back of my neck! I literally could not put this book down until I had finished it! I don't very often give up sleep over a book but this one kept me fully engaged from start to finish with a huge sigh at the end once I finished it! Brilliant writing!

I'm hooked, but I need a break from the Porter family. There are 3 books left in the series. As much as I want to find out how it all turns out, I have enough to keep me reading for a long time.
A serial killer who tells the authorities who's next; a dysfunctional, powerful family, identical twins who could not be any more identical.
Taking a break. Three books to go.

I was starting to get into this series with the last book...this one was a total flop for me. The characters aren't developing. The love story isn't developing. All the books have had far-fetched things happening, but this book about took it over the edge for me. Nothing feels real. If the next book is more of the same, I'm done.

Great read!
I really enjoy Georgia Wagner's writing. Strong characters, fast paced and always a bit of surprise thrown in. Don't hesitate to pick up any one of her books. You will not be disappointed.

Holy cow, I did not expect what happened towards the end. I was at the edge of my seat wanting to find out what happened and it happened so quick. What a thrilling book, I can’t wait for the next book!

A fear of the sea!
Ella and Brenner have a mystery to solve that keeps coming up with more questions. They keep following the clues and figure out who the killer is. It was a surprise to me., but it only leaves them with more questions. Too many questions, without any answers

Book Four had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put the book down. Georgia Wagner did it again. Riveting and captivating!

Each book in this series so far has been as good if not better than the last. They always leave me wanting more.

Well! I like the read, however the ending left you hanging and apparently there is not a #5! She needs to finish the series with a conclusion!
