Sam Westing died of old age, but not in a literal sense. The man who supposedly wiped out the family’s fortune lived out his final years under a pseudonym as Sandy McSouther’s doorman. Upon discovering his death, his daughter Violet commits suicide. Bertha Erica Crow, the woman who supposedly murdered Sam, was planning to force her daughter to marry a corrupt politician.

While his daughter drowns, Sam Westing’s death is the result of natural causes and not a murder. His daughter, Sandy, had faked her own death to get money from the heirs. It’s unclear who actually killed him. The book is filled with clues and mysteries, but ultimately it comes down to a simple question: who killed Sam Westing? Luckily, you can play the role of the detective, and try to solve the puzzle and discover the truth about the mysterious death of Sam.

In the Westing Game, characters have to figure out who killed Sam Westing. The main suspect is Berthe Erica Crow, a very religious woman who works in the Sunset Towers as a cleaning woman. She also runs a soup kitchen in downtown Detroit. After her husband’s death, she’s suspected of murder, but Violet refuses to get married. Her ex-wife Berthe Erica Crow catches on to this and tries to frame her.

In the first novel, the author introduces the mystery of who killed Sam Westing. His character’s secret life is solved by Turtle Wexler, who becomes the president of Westing Paper Products. The book reveals that the real Sam is not dead, but is simply a wax effigy. The only person who knows the truth is the turtle, a character who is only known to the real Sam Westing.

In the second novel, Westing pretends to die in order to bring the family together. As the third person in the Westing game, he fakes his death by using a disguise. The thief hides in Sandy’s bruise, but the real killer is the thief. The fourth character, Chris, is the servant’s daughter. All three play a role in the book, but it’s a mystery.

In the third novel, Sam Westing has a similar fate to his daughter, Bertha Erica Crow. The two characters are matched with the right helper and are unable to determine who killed him. Initially, the characters believe that the deceased’s death is a fake but later they find out that he is alive. The thief is a man who is actually his daughter.
