Reviewed by:  B.J. H. '11

The Name of the Game Was Murder, by Joan Lowery Nixon, is a story about Samantha Burns, who goes to visit her Aunt Thea, and ends up in the middle of a murder mystery. The owner of the house, Augustus Trevor has written a manuscript showing flaws in other people's lives. So he invites five guests over to play a game if they find the manuscript using the clues he has written for them, their story will be erased from the manuscript. On the night that everybody arrives, Augustus is murdered. When I read this book I never wanted to put it down, because I always wanted to know if another set of clues were found.
