Careless People: Murder, Mayhem, and the Invention of The Great Gatsby
by Sarah Churchwell
informative
slow-paced
I bought this book because I love The Great Gatsby, the whole look of the 1920's flapper era, and other works by F Scott Fitzgerald. I loved learning about all of those things in this book, as well as the murder in nearby New Jersey that was featured. I was unaware of how the Mills-Hall murder influenced The Great Gatsby. I really enjoyed this book, and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Gatsby or true crime. Lucky for me, I am interested in both.
