The Westing Game is a great mystery that you will have to do a little of solving on your own. In this book they don't really focus on one main character. They more focus on a big group of people. The story begins when sixteen people gather to listen to Samuel Westing will. They find out that it is a contest to finds out who killed Sam. The rewarding 200,000 million dollars is what keeps them motivated. The thing is one of them killed him even know he or she is competing to get the money. They will have fight through bombings, blizzards, and burglaries. The description of the book made me think that the book wasn't going to be very good so... don't let the description that I give you fool you. There are only two people that hold all of the clues. One of them is a heir and the other is you.
