'Murderously fun' Jessica Bull
1922: You are cordially invited to summer at the Gatsby Mansion in West Egg, with the most illustrious - and the deadliest - guest list.
Freshly twenty-one and sporting a daring new bob, Greta Gatsby - younger sister to the infamous Jay - is finally free of finishing school. An idyllic summer stretches ahead of her at the Gatsby Mansion, the jewel of West Egg.
But when Greta arrives at the secluded white-stone estate bathed in the late-afternoon light, she finds she isn't the only visitor. Jay is hosting an intimate gathering of New York's fashionable set: Daisy and Tom Buchanan, along with his brother Edgar, Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker.
That evening, the guests enjoy a candelabra-lit dinner party. That night, they dance to the lilt of the gramophone. The next morning, one of them is missing.
Murder has come to West Egg, the warm breeze tainted by scandal, betrayal and secrets. Turning sleuth isn't how Greta meant to spend her summer - but what choice does she have when one of them could be next?
The gilded opulence of the Roaring Twenties. A murder that scandalises high society. And a clever young woman of unusual persistence . . . A deliciously unputdownable whodunnit perfect for fans of The Christie Affair and Miss Austen Investigates.

Critics Review
A thoroughly enjoyable mystery story with all the tropes and pleasures of a golden age detective story. . . Well-written and pacy, inflected by the original characters and setting but otherwise unconstrained by them
Featuring much of the glamour and sparkle of Fitzgerald’s original, this reprise of Gatsby’s cautionary tale also revisits the distressing realities behind the glitz. A mystery with a message (and some great jewelry)
If “The Great Gatsby” is going to turn into a “The Avengers”-style bit of intellectual property, with spinoffs of spinoffs of spinoffs – and, clearly, it already is – then “The Gatsby Gambit” is an example of how well that could go. Anderson-Wheeler obviously loves and has been thoughtful about the source material, and she has written a novel that respects its elder while, like a boat against the current, she takes its characters in a completely new direction.
I’ve been utterly immersed in the Roaring Twenties with this murderously fun take on a literary classic. The Gatsby Gambit is packed with sophistication, glamour and deadly intrigue
What could be better than a murder mystery set in the glamorous world of The Great Gatsby? If there was ever a perfect recipe for deliciously stylish intrigue, the imaginary worlds of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie colliding is definitely it!
Absolutely devoured this glorious romp of a novel. The Gatsby Gambit is pure escapist fun – a pacy, clever, witty mystery that I galloped through with sheer delight
An accomplished and satisfying read imbued with the luxury and lurking danger in the jewel of West Egg
