Junior Fiction-Mystery. 1979 Newbery Medal Award. This has been a favorite book of mine since I was a child and I wanted to share that love with my kids, so I read it to them. An eccentric millionaire arranges for 16 people to move into an apartment complex he owns and then accuses one of them of killing him. If the others can solve the mystery then they inherit his huge fortune. The clues are convoluted and confusing at times and my kids could not see how some things fit together, but that's what makes a great mystery! The ending was a delightful surprise for them.
Recommend: YES!
