Blurb:

Had Rose only that day bemoaned her simple life? Yes. Is the dating pool painfully slim for an alopecia girlie? Sure. Would she love to go on a little adventure and along the way find love? Of course.

But falling into a copy of The Great Gatsby on the 100th anniversary of Fitzgerald’s best-known novel isn’t high on her to-do list. Yet, here she is, attending one of the fanciest functions in West Egg. And witnessing a murder.

Rose scrambles to untangle the mystery of the killer wreaking havoc at Gatsby’s lavish party with the begrudging help of Detective Theodore Lane—a man none too fond of Rose’s story of being from “the real world.” Rose did say she wanted an adventure . . . but a murder wasn’t exactly what she had in mind.


What To Expect:

Readers can expect a fun, fast, and engaging read about a librarian who is magically transported inside the book “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald and helps solve some murders there. It includes a strong theme of the importance of sharing God’s love even with those who reject that message.
