This book is confusing, that cost it a star, but I love it! the 16 heirs compete in a game to find Sam Westing's murderer and win 2 million dollars. But the thing is, there is no murderer. The mystery was so compelling I kept reading and grew to really like it.

best mistery book ever
It's outlandishly clever, just when you think something happens, you learn that something else happened. Almost impossible to solve the mystery, and very exciting.
This book was an excellent murder mystery with a surprising twist at the end. My advanced reading class read this book with our amazing teacher Mrs. Feyko! :)
I would love to read this!!Is there just one book though?
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is a very complex book that is a little confusing at the beginning but slowly makes sense at the end.

This book is filled with suspense. If you like mysteries this is the one. The book gives you clues, so you can solve the mystery by yourself. I thought it was a fantastical book.
This book was really good because it was a mystery and they needed to find out who commited the crime. They get clues and a 12 year old thinks she has solved it. There are many confusing things and people prentend to be other people that they really aren't. It sounds weird but it is a really good book. Please read it
Turtle (the girl, not the animal) is one of my favorite characters in the mystery genre. She is one of the heirs to an immense fortune but there's a twist, to earn the inheritance, you must solve a word puzzle. Ingenious plot and original characters.
This is one of my favorite books ever! this is a mystery book of how these adults and kids are part of this game to figure out a murder. In the end, it has this hue twist which is still sprising for me every time i read it. I love this book! i recommend this book to 4th graders and up because the book was a little confusing in some parts.
amazing book
