The Westing Game is a mystery. 16 people have been selected to unravel it. But while they're unraveling it, the story also opens out, allowing us to learn more and more about the people who have been selected.
Sunset Towers filled suddenly, with people whose names were already printed on the mailboxes. When these apparent strangers are all thrown together, they discover a lot about themselves and each other.
Who were these people, the specially selected tenants? They were mothers and fathers and children. A dressmaker, a secretary, an inventor, a doctor, a judge. One was a bookie, one was a burglar, one was a bomber, and one was a mistake.
