There's a bright, new, beautiful luxury apartment building on the Lake Michigan shore, but there's no advertising to lure tenants. Instead, an odd delivery boy rides around on his bicycle and slips invitations under the doors of the chosen tenants-to-be. Each potential tenant is shown only one apartment and is told that it is the last available apartment. In every situation, the offer is made in such a way that it would be foolish to turn it down. Soon, Sunset Towers is full with an interesting mix of families and single people. Their backgrounds are all very different-or so it seems. Sunset Towers not only has tenants, it also has businesses: there's a coffee shop, a gourmet restaurant, and a doctor's office. The tenants are all aware of the imposing mansion next door: the Westing house. On Halloween, the doorman and the delivery boy spin an irresistibly frightening tale of gruesome gossip about the house to entertain Sunset Towers's teenagers. One of them, Turtle, is fearless and always ready to take a dare, especially if there's a bet involved. Her plan is to spend that night in the Westing house. The discovery of a body, and some strange whispers, sends her running from the mansion, and the next day the death of Samuel Westing is reported in the papers.
"The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin is a mystery novel about sixteen heirs who are brought together to solve the murder of a wealthy businessman, Sam Westing. Through a complex series of clues and puzzles, the heirs uncover the truth behind Westing's death and their own connections to each other. The novel culminates in a surprising twist that reveals the true winner of Westing's game.
Westing is Sam Westing's last name, and the whole book is based on his game in the will, which is also titled the "westing game".

Because Jude Ford thinks that the whole game was meant to get back at his ex-wife,
Crow did. He shut off the electricity in the Westing Game book.

Sandy McSouthers' partner in the book "The Westing Game" is Barney Northrup.
My favorite part was when Sandy/Sam Westing/Julian Eastman/Barney Northrup finally dies for real, because Turtle and him discuss all the good times that they had. I LOVE WESTING GAME
