"A supersharp mystery...confoundingly clever, and very funny." (Booklist, starred review)

A bizarre chain of events begins when 16 unlikely people gather for the reading of Samuel W. Westing's will. And though no one knows why the eccentric, game-loving millionaire has chosen a virtual stranger - and a possible murderer - to inherit his vast fortune, one thing's for sure: Sam Westing may be dead...but that won't stop him from playing one last game!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Great fun for those who enjoy illusion, word play, or sleight of hand." (The New York Times Book Review)

"A fascinating medley of word games, disguises, multiple aliases, and subterfuges - a demanding but rewarding book." (The Horn Book)

Amazing!

This is a beautifully written and read book. It is a thriller type murder mystery book but is still appropriate for 3rd or 4th grade and up! If you are younger or scare really easily, I wouldn’t suggest reading this at night or before bed. It is a book that you have to experience. There are so many plot twists and clues that you can keep up with. You can even play along as you read!! 😍 This is a definite 10/10!!!!

Let the Games Begin

This was such a good read with twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. I usually figure books out within the first few chapters, but it took me almost to the end to figure this one out. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery.

One of my favorite books

I have LOVED this book since I first read it as a child in elementary school. I’ve read it several times over the years. I needed a quick, but fun, listen while getting some housework done and this audiobook did not disappoint. It was so fun listening as an adult who didn’t fully remember all the twists. Oh, the nostalgia! You won’t be disappointed with this narrator or this story.

Well-performed Tedious story

This is a tedious story with a large cast of characters well performed with different voices.

Clues Abound

The Storyteller was phenomenal! and the story itself is a good one! It makes me want to read more of Raskin's earlier work.

The westing game

This is a good book I like the mystery behind everything that happened in the book

This was so good

I love this book so much and it was very complicated. I never expected Barney’s true identity to be him.
Aaaaaa

I love this story

listening to this story brought me back to when I was in middle school reading it for the first time.

THE WESTING GAME

VERY GOOD LOVED THE STORY NOT SO MUCH OF THE READER BUT OVER ALL VERY GOOD

Not what I imagined, but not a disappointment.

This has been my favorite book since I was in 8th grade. I was on a road trip, so I decided to listen to it. Aside from the terrible issues one has when having read the book first of not pronouncing things the way you thought they were in your head, or people having accents that didnt in your mind, and then feeling self righteous about it; it was all very well, and I enjoyed it greatly.
