The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, 182 pagesWhen mysterious tycoon Sam Westing dies, 16 people are gathered together as his potential heirs, despite none of them having any clue why they'd be considered for his $220 million estate. In order to get it though, they have to find his killer... who also happens to be a potential heir. I read this book over and over as a kid, and was thrilled to find the audiobook right before a family road trip. Unlike many of my other childhood favorites, this one holds up incredibly well, with fantastic characters and an intriguing mystery. Bonus props to audiobook narrator Jeff Woodman, who did a bang-up job bringing these characters to life.
