Bought at a library book sale. Great condition. This is a Newbery Medal winner.

One fateful day, sixteen people gather for the reading of Samuel W. Westing's will. To their surprise, the will turns out to be a contest, challenging the heirs to find out who among them is Westing's murderer. Forging ahead, through blizzards, burglaries, and bombings, the game is on. Only two people hold all the clues. One of them is a Westing heir. The other is you!

I absolutely adored this book as a kid. I found it to be a fascinating mystery I loved trying to solve. The characters are incredible. And the twist ending is brilliant and surprised me!

Oooh, indeed it will be enjoyed! :) Thank you so much! I've been looking forward to reading this (and will do so as soon as my bookring pile is diminished!)

Reading through the first few pages I think my mystery loving daughter will enjoy it as well. Thanks for the wonderful surprise!
