A bizarre chain of events begins when sixteen unlikely people gather for the reading of Samuel W. Westing's will. And though no one knows why the eccentric, game-loving millionaire has chosen a virtual stranger - and a possible murderer - to inherit his vast fortune, one thing's for sure: Sam Westing may be dead... but that won't stop him from playing one last game!

至少读过十遍以上,太喜欢这部小说了。 小学的时候就一直很崇拜特图尔的睿智,很羡慕她的那种生活,喜欢日落塔楼,特别憧憬能够生活在那样的环境中。 至今对这本书的内容还有许多疑惑,我会再一点一点解开的。
評分几年前偶然读到该书,说实话,有点晕,因为人物很多,十六位财产继承人好像在找一名杀人凶手,还夹杂一点国际象棋知识,王后死了不是输了吗.我不懂国际象棋,所以第一次读这本书很点找不着北.幸好还知道东南西北的英语,所以结局还算明白.但没有享受到看侦探推理小说那种逐步解谜的乐趣...
評分小学的时候抱着这本书看了3遍,从头就开始猜结局,虽然没有猜到结局,但是结局我很喜欢,里面的故事然我脑子飞转,还有隐隐的爱情故事~好看!
評分这是小学读的书,记得第一次看的时候很多字都不认识,还老老实实地挨个挨个查字典标注拼音。故事很有趣,次次都会被吸引,不管是已经看过多少次。刚刚又看了一遍,发现以前很多东西都没理解到就一跳而过了。呵呵,很好看
評分本书在前半部分只是为本书做出铺垫,只是越到后面才会越好看。尤其是在大家为谜底而想破头皮的时候,让人看得很吊胃口,确实是有一种身临其境的感觉。可以看出威斯订为这游戏考虑了不少,想出了这么考人智力的游戏给大家玩,我想,那十六个继承人一定非常幸福,也懂了不少的人...
本以為是少兒故事,讀瞭纔發現是至少 Young Adult 看的。寫得有些淩亂的感覺,可不失為一個很吸引人的偵探故事,還有不少好笑的地方。
评分神作,中學時看瞭兩遍中文,大學偶遇原版,又看瞭一遍
评分亂死瞭
评分mind blown after all these years wonder if my obsession with apartment complexes originated from here for ten-year old me plot too complicated to follow characters too delicate to understand could do with a less perfect ending
评分故事緊湊流暢,謎題設計巧妙,其實更適閤大人讀。
