Audiolibro The Gatsby Gambit

1922, Long Island: A country house weekend over a sweltering summer. Six illustrious guests. One shocking murder that will scandal high society...

At twenty-one years old, Greta Gatsby has graduated her stifling finishing school and is ready to take control of her future. Going home to her brother and guardian Jay, and their secluded haven in Long Island's West Egg, this summer will be the first of the rest of her life. Returning to the glorious white stone estate, bathed in the late-afternoon light, Greta finds that she isn't the only one summering at the mansion. There are five others - Daisy and Tom Buchanan, along with his brother Edgar, Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker. It's an intimate gathering of New York's elite where Greta - who was orphaned as a child, came from nothing and forever carries the stain of 'new money' - feels utterly out of place.

The morning after their first indulgent dinner party, Tom goes missing. As the party hunt high and low for him on the grounds, Greta searches The Marguerite, the boat bobbing gently in the waves of their private dock. It's there she finds his body - slumped in the captain's chair, blood pooling on the ground, a gun glinting beside him. Tom Buchanan is dead.

The carefree weekend of revelry is suddenly the scene of a shocking murder. One of New York's wealthiest men from one of it's most distinguished families has been killed in cold blood; a scandal that will rock society's upper echelons to its core.

Before long, Greta turns sleuth, lifting the veil on the household and its inhabitants. Investigating the guests and the staff, it soon becomes clear: one of them is the killer. Beneath the glitz and glamour are deadly secrets and lies, a dark underbelly where murder shadows money. It's up to Greta to discover who is the culprit - before someone else ends up dead.
