About this audiobook

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.
'Compelling and bursting with 1920s flair, this new twist on the iconic tale will delight newcomers and old fans alike' CE McGill, author of Our Hideous Progeny
'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' Naomi Kelsey, author of The Burnings
'A glamour-filled, thrilling read that kept me guessing to the end! It was such a treat to be back in the world of Gatsby!' Kate Weston, author of You May Now Kill the Bride
'Claire Anderson-Wheeler brilliantly intertwines the allure of the Jazz Age with a gripping murder mystery in The Gatsby Gambit. A dazzling homage to Fitzgerald's world, this novel captivates from the first page to the last' Joanna Wallace, author of You'd Look Better as a Ghost
'Lively, smart, and fun . . . As charming as Daisy Buchanan herself' Flynn Berry, author of Northern Spy
'With a fiercely defiant female lead and secrets as sharp as the prose, The Gatsby Gambit oozes glamour and intrigue. I loved this bold take on a beloved classic' Trisha Sakhlecha, author of The Inheritance
