Jay Gatsby and his sister Greta grew up poor and lost their parents at an early age. Jay went on to become rich, bought an estate on Long Island and put his sister through the best schools. Now she’s done with school and has arrived home for the summer, with a houseful of people. Tom Buchanan, who is rich and his wife Daisy, his brother Edgar, Nick, a lawyer. They all party that first night and the next morning Tom is found dead on Jay’s boat. It’s ruled a suicide and it seems like the case is closed. Greta thinks there’s more going on and decides to investigate, which takes her to a seedy part of town and learns Tom owed a lot of money to people. When she finally figures out what has been going on, it may be too late for her and the guests at the house. Based on characters from The Great Gatsby, this is a fun murder mystery, with interesting characters, twists and turns and a story you easily follow along with.
