The Gatsby Gambit
This is a continuation of the Great Gatsby story. Greta, Jay Gatsby’s sister, had left the finishing schools where he sent her and had returned to their opulent estate on West Egg. Greta had hoped to have Jay to herself that summer but found several friends visiting. Among them was Daisy Buchanan, the object of Jay’s desire, Tom, Daisy’s brutish husband, Jordan, a femme fatale and handsome Nick Carraway to whom Greta was attracted.
The group seemed to be enjoying themselves when tragedy struck. Greta took on the task of finding clues to solve the mystery.
This story, like the original, gives a view of the Roaring Twenties when wealthy people like Gatsby and the Buchanans spent most of their time enjoying life while their employees were only there to serve them. The author kept the tone of the original book but created a different scenario.
I enjoyed the book and its depiction of the times.
I received this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This wasn't bad. I was hoping for something different. This didn't go in line with the original story at all.

a light beach read, lots of fun to be back in the world of Gatsby, et. al. some of the twists are predictable, others not quite as much - I would enjoy reading others, though - just was fun

Look for my full review in Library Journal. This is an enjoyable classics reimagining with a female protagonist.
