Book #83 - Anything Goes by Jill Churchill

When I was in middle school, I read a book called "The Westing Game". It was an interesting mystery where you were introduced to a whole bunch of characters and the main character had to figure out who committed the murder. This book reminded me of that one very much. It is a short, who-done-it set in 1931. The main character and her brother were formerly living large off their father's extravagant wealth are left penniless and skill-less after the stock marked crash. These two find out their long lost uncle has died and has left his home and vast fortune to them, if they can survive 10 years living in his house. As they arrive to this small town outside of NYC, they find out that the uncle may have been murdered, and they set out to find out who did it. I suspected who had done it, but didn't put it all together until the author finally clued us in. Good little short one that is quite entertaining but doesn't require much brain power...just what I need right now.
