The Westing Game

This brilliantly crafted, award-winning novel is an intriguing mystery that follows an eclectic group of characters as they struggle to be the first to solve the puzzle set forth Sam Westing's will-and, most importantly, lay claim to the Westing fortune.

The Westing Game kept my on my toes and still kept surprising me until the end. A rich man has died and has left a large fortune behind. Sam Westing didn't leave his money in an easy way, but set up a game with clues for his heirs to figure out - starting the Westing Game. It was very intriguing puzzle and kept me guessing through out the book! It deserved the 1979 Newbery award!
