Emily writes the following about The Westing Game :
The Westing Game

The Westing Game is about a guy named Sam Westing. The book is a mystery, and the mystery is to figure out if Sam Westing died of natural causes or was murdered. There are sixteen heirs to the Westing fortune. If the heirs can figure out what happened to Sam Westing, the heirs will accept 200 million dollars in cash. Everything sounds good to the heirs till Judge Ford tells them that all the heirs are related and one of the heirs was the murderer. They are separated into eight groups of two, to figure the mystery out. Each group gets a different set of clues. Mysterious things start happening when the game begins such as the fire in the kitchen. Who is the murderer? What will happen to him/her? Read the Westing game to find out.



There were many things in The Westing Game that I liked and disliked. I liked the way the book started because it stated the basics and to me it was really good. I also like the Mysterious way the news about the murderer came about. Last I really liked the characters. I didn?t like the way the book ended, it kind of ended strangely with a game of chess. I didn?t like the way Sam was found being deceased. This is my review over the book The Westing Game.
