"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.

Winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award

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