[LM_NET] Gatsby Character in book

[Debra Gniewek <dgniewek@COMCAST.NET>]

(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
