Sam Westing has died and at the reading of his will a game begins, because he did not die by natural causes.  He was murdered by one of the sixteen heirs! Most of them live in Sunset Towers.  They are partnered for the great prize at stake.  The pair that finds the answer will win 200 million dollars!  One day the guests get snowbound in Sunset Towers with the thief and the bomber.  Many things happen, but some are left untold until the end of the book, which makes you not want to put it down once! 

This is the best mystery book I’ve read becauseof the cliffhangers and the suspense.  It just gets better and better.  Is the answer really as simple as the murderer’s name?  Who has the daring to play the Westing Game?

The Westing Game is about a man named Sam Westing who dies. His 16 heirs are all gathered together. When the will is read, the heirs find out it is a game to find out who murdered him. The winner gets two-hundred million dollars. Along the way there is a thief and a bomber. The answer to the mystery is a big surprise.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a mystery with a twist at the end. I thought the twist was surprising and cool. In the book, there was always something interesting happening.

The Westing Game is about 16 heirs to a man called Sam Westing. Sam Westing didn't die of natural causes; he was murdered! The heirs have to find out who killed Westing, but it's not as easy as you think. One of the heirs is a bomber, one is a bookie, one is a thief, and one is a mistake (this person is not really an heir). So the game is on, but who killed Westing? It was... oh, sorry, can't tell you. You have to read the book to find out which heir wins the 200 million dollar prize. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a great mystery.
