“That arrogant sonofabitch! That voicemail… How dare he? Picking up my phone, I typed out a text in response. Because let’s face it. I wasn’t calling him back and risking him pulling me over to the dark side.   Olive: Don’t flatter yourself, Walker! You weren’t a good lay in college, the only way for you to go was up. I’m guessing you peaked at average.   Oh, sure, it was a boldfaced lie. Hayes had been a great lay. If he’d gotten better? Oophf, the thought made me rub my thighs together. I wasn’t stupid, I knew he’d used the voicemail to bait me into exactly this situation.

In my novel, one detective finds a diamond hairpin in the bushes by Jay Gatsby’s pool, and that leads him to start looking closer at the women in Gatsby’s orbit. Let’s talk about the three suspects, starting with Daisy Buchanan. How is she connected to the murder victim?
