“Six letters were delivered, just six. Six appointments were made, and one by one, family by family, talk, talk, talk, Barney Northrup led the tours around and about Sunset Towers.” “Who were these people, these specially selected tenants?” These are some of the many quotes that Ellen Raskin will give, as an introduction. The westing game is a mystery novel that involves 16 unrelated heir of Sam Westing and the secret of his death. The heirs are then paired to figure out who killed Mr. Westing by decoding clues he left in his will. Each of the eight pairs, that were assigned at random, is given $10,000 and different set of clues. The main goal is to solve the mystery to inherit Westing’s entire $200 million fortune. Later on it is discovered that this mystery has a secret connection to chess and the song America the beautiful. I would recommend this book to those who’s minds would like to be challenged with a mysterious unsolved murder and suspicious background stories.
