I read the book and I don't understand it. Can someone please explain it to me?



The Westing Game in a nutshell: Millionaire Sam Westing is found “killed” in his mansion after having been missing for several years. Turns out, he faked his death and is living under the pseudonyms of Barney Northrup, Sandy McSoutherns and another one that I can’t remember (it’s been a little while since I’ve read it). He wants to leave his estate to someone smart so he sets up a little game for potential heirs to partake in. He (under the name Barney Northrup) convinced them all to rent apartments in a brand new apartment building and then gets a job at the apartment building under the name Sandy McSoutherns and in a different disguise. He then has his lawyer bring them all together for a reading of his “will”. In his will is a letter stating that one of them killed him and whoever figures out who the killer is will inherit the Westing estate. He also leaves them several clues. The “killer” is Sandy McSoutherns, his alter ego. Does that help?

Brooklyn Long That was Turtle. She figured out that Sandy McSoutherns was actually Sam Westing so she inherited the estate.
