The mysterious death of an eccentric millionaire brings together an unlikely assortment of heirs who must uncover the circumstances of his death before they can claim their inheritance.
3+ rounded up. Middle-grade mystery reminiscent of some of Agatha Christie's big-cast stories.
A perfect little mystery. I first read this book more than 15 years ago. I still go back to it every few years and rediscover how much fun it is. THere are few that can craft a tale this intricately, but make it so much fun. On my last read through the book started showing it's age a little, but I still loved it.
