#6: Ellen Raskin, The Westing Game

[kareila]

My friend's online book club read this story in December, and my son read it a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to check it out. The writing style was a bit idiosyncratic, wavering between an omniscient viewpoint and the viewpoints of the sixteen Westing heirs, sometimes without any cues to signal the shift. But apart from that, it was a lot of fun, with a mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. It reminded me a lot of the movie version of the board game Clue, with all the mysterious motives and secret identities. (I don't think it could have supported multiple possible endings, though.)
