I love Agatha Christie and Fitzgerald books as well and I enjoy the glamorous lifestyle of rich or noble people and stories about them. Also I love when they are located in the UK or any other countryside.
You might like *Vile Bodies* by Evelyn Waugh. Tons of drama!

“A moveable feast” by Hemingway. Lots about Fitzgerald in there, too. Though not particularly flattering. Ol’ Ernest was definitely giving him the business.

If you like Agatha Christie give Dorothy L. Sayers a try. Her ‘Lord Peter Wimsey’ stories are very good.

Try the Phryne Fisher detective series (she’s a flapper) for Christie-like cozy mysteries!

Anything by Thorne Smith. Not drama though – madcap adventures, boozey shenanigans, usually rich/glamorous folks. I’d start with the Night Life of the Gods.

The shadow of the wind. Takes place in Barcelona. A portion of it is mostly post civil war, 1940-1950s but it flashes back a lot to the 20s.

I just read one about the countryside: The House Without Windows by Barbara Newhall Follett. It was written in 20s, so presumably captures a child’s imagination of the time. Not exactly what you’re looking for, but interesting. Written by a 12 year old girl. :O
