(My individual response to C. Wax was returned to me.)
Don't know if I've heard of a Gatsby character in a recent mystery.
However, I did just order the following 2006 novel from Amazon this
week:
Gatsby's Girl by Caroline Preston
'Inspired by the ephemeral but intense historical romance between F.
Scott
Fitzgerald and his first love, Chicago debutante Ginevra King, Preston
bases her
sexy, self-centered title character both on Fitzgerald's crush and the
female
characters (Daisy Buchanan, etc.) for which she was his muse. Ginevra
Perry is
the spoiled 16-year-old expert flirt who catches Scott Fitzgerald's
fancy in
1916 , , , .Gatsby's Girl opens in 1950, 10 years after Fitzgerald's
death, when Genevra gets a call from Scottie, the Fitzgeralds' only
child,
asking to hear her version of what happened. That invitation launches
Genevra on
the story of her life 'without the moonlight.'"

Hello -
I am looking for the title of a new book about which I
recently read a review (not that I remember where this review was
located!). The book was a mystery, I think, and Jay Gatsby was an
actual living character in the book. Does this sound familiar to you?
Thank you - Carol
