The Gatsby Gambit: A Novel Kindle Edition

by Claire Anderson Wheeler (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

A clever, transporting murder mystery, The Gatsby Gambit explores a world of class, money, glamour, and foul play—and reimagines some of America’s most beloved literary characters

Greta Gatsby has at last graduated from her stifling finishing school, is on the brink of turning twenty-one, and hopes to finally have her own legendary summer with her brother and guardian, Jay, at his West Egg mansion. Orphaned along with him some years before the war, Greta has seen her fortunes rise on the high tide of his entrepreneurship, even as she has remained in the shadows of his life—too young to join his late-night soirees or infamous summer parties and too shy to trade banter and barbs with his cadre of new friends.

Jay’s wish for her has been to shake off their new-money stain and gain a level of social acceptance he’s never quite enjoyed. She’s simply looking forward to reconnecting with him and embracing life as a modern young woman. She arrives at West Egg with a fresh and daring new bob hairdo to find Daisy and Tom Buchanan also summering at the mansion, along with Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker. And it’s hard to be noticed when the luminous and multifaceted Daisy Buchanan is in the same room.

But when one of their guests is murdered, Greta turns sleuth as the veil is lifted on Gatsby’s household and its inhabitants, including its staff. Tightly plotted, with thrilling prose and sensuous detail, this homage to and reinvention of a world American readers have lionized for generations ultimately reveals the secrets and lies that perpetuate the romantic notion that being rich is the answer to all of life’s problems.

Like the Enola Holmes series and The Christie Affair, The Gatsby Gambit is designed to bring new readers into the world of the original, iconic novel, as well as delight fans with its clever secrets and reverence for all things Gatsby.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Lively, smart, and fun, The Gatsby Gambit is both a clever murder mystery and a complex reckoning with a literary legacy. As charming as Daisy Buchanan herself, and as full of pathos.
—Flynn Berry, author of New York Times bestseller 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 Can You See Me Now? and The Inheritance.

“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

“Like so many, I’m familiar with the dazzling, tragic characters of The Great Gatsby. But in this reimagining of their world, Claire sheds new light on who suffers, and who succeeds. As well as a mystery, it’s a coming of age story for Jay’s younger sister, Gigi, and I loved her growing insights into her privileged life, and what it costs. It’s an accomplished and satisfying read imbued with the luxury and lurking danger in the jewel of West Egg.”
—S.J. Bennett, bestselling author of the Her Majesty the Queen Investigates series.

“With an ambitious premise for a debut novel, Wheeler revises Fitzgerald’s classic with reassuring authenticity and refreshing zest to deliver a thoroughly satisfying, coy murder mystery. F. Scott would approve.”
—Booklist

“This novel pays homage to the classic with a fresh point of view that will please Gatsby fans and mystery readers. Both Gigi and the novel are clever and breathe new life into one of the definitive novels of the 20th century.”
—Library Journal

“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).”
—Kirkus
