This book has won a ton of awards. If that doesn't prove to you it's worth your time to read, hopefully this will: it's one of Neil Patrick Harris' top 10 favorite books.
Summary from Amazon: "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, on things for sure: Sam Westing may be dead…but that won’t stop him from playing one last game!"
