The Westing Game
Overview & Summary
Sixteen unlikely heirs -- including a teenage girl, a delivery boy, and a judge -- are gathered together after the mysterious death of the eccentric millionaire Sam Westing, who leaves behind a fortune and a puzzle: whoever can solve the clues to who murdered him (or is it a game at all?) will inherit everything. Ellen Raskin's Newbery Medal-winning mystery is an intricately plotted puzzle novel that rewards careful readers with a genuinely fair-play solution.
