The Westing
Game Bursts with Fireworks!
By
Beck
I just read the best mystery of the late 1970s, The
Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin. I would rate this book 4.2 stars. It does
not have enough Ôred herringsÕ in my opinion, but there is a big red herring in
the beginning, there are the weird personalities of the characters, and the
writing engages your mind.
The book is about Sam Westing, a millionaire who
might have been murdered by one of his relatives, and the person who solves the
mystery and wins the game will inherit his fortune of 200 million dollars!
I recommend The Westing Game for anyone eight
and older who loves an exciting mystery!
