About this audiobook

A Newbery Medal Winner

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

A bizarre chain of events begins when sixteen 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, on things for sure: Sam Westing may be dead…but that won't stop him from playing one last game!

Winner of the Newbery Medal

"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

    Read this as a kid, pleased to say I'd forgotten about it all! Was able to along the journey with the characters and really experience it. Personally I love the narrator. Did a great job of creating slight nuances to every single character voice. You always could tell whose perspective it was.

    I love this story, but I didn't care for the narrator. I grew up listening to this being read by Jeff Woodman, and I love his narration. If this was the old version I would rate it 5 stars.
