I can feel a connection to this book because; I like mystery and crime TV shows and books. For example, in NCIS, a mystery and crime show, they never ever give up till they fit all the right pieces together like a puzzle. I recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery books. This book always drew me to go to the next chapter to find out what clues would lead the heirs to the killer of Samuel W. Westing. You will just be amazed after you read this eye catching and exciting mystery book by Ellen Raskin. This book was the winner of the Boston Globe/Horn award. If you read this, I hope the mystery doesn’t draw you in too much. - Matthew R.
