Ellen Raskin was a writer, illustrator, and designer. She was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and grew up during the Great Depression. She primarily wrote for children. She received the 1979 Newbery Medal for her 1978 book, The Westing Game.
Ms. Raskin was also an accomplished graphic artist. She designed dozens of dust jackets for books, including the first edition of Madeleine L'Engle's classic A Wrinkle in Time.
She married Dennis Flanagan, editor of Scientific American, in 1965.
Raskin died at the age of 56 on August 8, 1984, in New York City due to complications from connective tissue disease.
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!

評分本書在前半部分隻是為本書做齣鋪墊,隻是越到後麵纔會越好看。尤其是在大傢為謎底而想破頭皮的時候,讓人看得很吊胃口,確實是有一種身臨其境的感覺。可以看齣威斯訂為這遊戲考慮瞭不少,想齣瞭這麼考人智力的遊戲給大傢玩,我想,那十六個繼承人一定非常幸福,也懂瞭不少的人...
評分《威斯汀遊戲》講述的是龐大的威斯汀紙業公司富有的董事長威斯汀化妝後和選定的15位繼承人共同完成一個自己設計的遺産遊戲的離奇故事。故事中威斯汀設置瞭四個身份,一個扮演成自己和15位繼承人在日落塔樓的房東巴奈·諾斯;一個充當死去的威斯汀;一個假裝成繼承人之一的山迪...
