Artemis Blythe #3
She Loses All
Chessmaster and FBI consultant Artemis Blythe is confronted by a case that tests her genius like nothing before...
The troubled grandson of a close friend is found hanging above the gunshot body of his girlfriend. The police claim it's an open and shut murder-suicide.
But Artemis Blythe isn't nearly so certain.
She travels to Chicago, on behalf of her friend, to investigate the scene of the crime. Late night excursions into historic homes, run-ins with questionable detectives, and a pattern of violence buried under a pile of caution tape leads Artemis to her most harrowing conclusion yet.
But even across state lines, her reputation as the Ghost-killer's daughter follows her, and Artemis is faced with a life-altering choice.

About the author
Georgia Wagner
149 books203 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?

Friendship
Artemis is in a new town, but still solving a crime due to a friends request. The pieces aren’t all fitting so Forrester has to come help pave the way since the local cops won’t work with her. Their relationship has progressed and has me intrigued on what its potential will be. We also learned more about what Artemis dad knew about Forrester. The crimes are sad and the killer was shocking. More closure on all the bad people who came into contact with them would have been nice. Wade was mentioned but not present and Grant had a tiny role at the end. The cliffhanger has me excited for the new book and I also hope we see more of the chess back in the story.

The word "frowned" is used excessively throughout the book, to the point where it becomes tiresome. Every facial expression is described as a frown, even when other words would be more appropriate.
As if the author has a limited vocabulary or is simply in love with that word.
The book is an unsuccessful attempt to write a detective novel in the style of Sherlock Holmes. There are numerous murder mysteries, but the killer is always revealed to be someone who played a minor role in the story. This is not a satisfying way to end a mystery novel.
The book is also full of long and unnecessary descriptions. The author could have easily shortened the book by 100 pages. For example, there is a three-page description of the heroine's walk from her car to the house of a lady she wants to interview. This description is completely unnecessary and adds nothing to the story.

Artemis Blythe. Her father is a mentalist and taught her everything he knew. He was also a serial killer. Did he kill her older sister?
Artemis gets caught up in helping the FBI solve murders. Now they want her to be an official consultant.
She prefers chess. She’s a master looking at both national and international championships. This is more up her line than dealing with sociopaths.
This book is a stand alone read but you’ll get much more out of it if you read the first two books in the series – She Dies Tonight and She Hides Forever.
Thank you, Mr Higgs, for sharing Ms Wagner’s books with us.

Artemis is dragged into a nasty murder suicide investigation to help her friends
Artemis needs to find out who killed the Washingtons grandson. The local police are calling it a murder/suicide and aren’t even trying hard to solve the incident. Nor the next one. Or the one that happened a couple months before. So Artemis calls on her old partner to help her solve the mysteries. Before any more can be killed. She takes on more than she knows and accidentally becomes the last victim.

Excellent series!
I am completely hooked on this series. The storylines are most certainly not boring. I am intrigued by the development of the character Artemis Blythe. She is an interesting individual. Her natural instinct is to protect herself. Her past has a tight hold on her that has caused her to live a solitary existence until now. The recruitment of the FBI has opened avenues and opportunities she never considered. Her thought processes are as unique as the team she is now joining. Excellent series!

Ms. Wagner's newest is as good if not better than the first two. Artemis gets a call from her good friend and chess consultant saying that her grandson had been killed. She wants Artemis to clear his name because police are blaming him for the girlfriend's death as well.
Though Artemis would much rather prepare for an upcoming tournament, she just cannot let her good friends down. And all is definitely not what it seems.
Another excellent story from Wagner!

Artemis gets involved in another murder case upon a request of a couple of friends. The more she searches the less she wants to talk to her friends because the truth might not be the one they would like to hear. She is also struggling with her preparation for the chess tournament and wondering what her future life will be like.
I received an ARC copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

January 13, 2023Good mystery
Artemis heads for Chicago to look into the killing of her dear friends grandson . She still odd, socially , Forester comes and she still has questions about him. This is treated like small town killings. Some comparisons familiar from previous books . Good pace , no apparent typos . I do like reading how Artemis does her analysis .

Why does this app crash when I am almost done writing a review? Every damn time.
I like this one.
Not as much as the last.
My patience is thinning for the three serial killers in three weeks suspension of disbelief.
Why can’t the author have more than two days pass between novels?
Clearly she never wants Artemis to play chess again, which is half the main characters identity, so that is weird.
Okay, that is my truncated review of the one that disappeared after this app crashed. Again.

"SHE LOSES ALL" (Artemis Blythe FBI #3) Is one of the best mystery/suspense books I have ever read. I suffer from "book hangovers" for two days. Had a hard time closing the book and couldn't wait to start reading it again. Ms. Wagner keeps the reader on his/her toes from beginning to end. Also, she created memorable characters. Ms. Wagner just became one of my favorites authors. I wish I had more time to read her books. I will be glad to suffer "book hangovers" from reading her books.

Excellent Series!
The continuing journey of Artemis Blythe as she explores a world outside of playing in chess championships is always a fast-moving nailbiter of a story! This time she is pulled into the death of a family member of a couple she has grown quite fond of. Can she prove this young man was murdered or was it really a murder/suicide? Gripping story from the very beginning!

3.5*
Watch out for those favors for a friend. This one was crazy. I will just say that pack mentality will always end up biting you in the ass in the end. I am really curious how the rest of this series will continue and if she will find out the information she is searching for. Also, Forrester, am I right?👀😏

Artemis is trying to help an old friend but winds up with a new case. With a twisty plot and terrific characters (whether loved or disliked), I found this to be totally unputdownable! I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

Getting better…
More complete paragraphs with actual happenings in them instead of dozens of stand alone sentences. Minor amount of typos here and there, less than most Kindle books.

Sogh Character Development is Slow
Sigh slowest character development in history. But something new is happening in book four so yay.
I mean these are interesting and short enough that it works but idk a part of me definitely would like more.

Awesome Read...
Action, suspense this story has it all. Artemis Blythe has as an exceptional mind. The character of Forrester keeps me intrigued to what he will do next . If you haven't read the series you are missing out. Georgia Wagner is an amazing Storyteller.

Artemis Blythe is one of my new favorite characters. She’s uber smart, nerdy and has amazing gifts. Cameron is a great character as well. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

FBI thriller
I like this take on an FBI thriller. Artemis Blythe is not an agent and barely a consultant. The characters are strange, but somehow work together. I'm looking forward to next book in series.

unusual characters
Although a murder mystery it is more of a psychological drama with interesting and unusual characters. Can;t wait for the next one in the series.

Great book,especially since all of the locations were about 30 miles from my house. Never saw the ending coming.
November 9, 2022
Not sure what happened here, but I feel like Artemis moved backward in her confidence and everything. She was so iffy and unsure it was annoying. But that ending! Look forward to the next!

This is another heart-pumping story in book three of this riveting series. The characters are flawless and so is the writing. Highly Recommended.

Not enough meat
I realize this is a series but this book lacked enough of interest to the reader. It was a bit repetitive.. Good story though.

Watch who you are with because they may be there to kill you
A fast paced story of teen love gone awry. The quiet ones that are bullied get revenge, even if they have to wait.
