About this audiobook
The Westing Game meets The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963 in a stirring mystery of past and present, as two kids search for a place in their families, city, and country.
The letter waits in a book, in a box, in an attic, in an old house in Lambert, South Carolina. It's waiting for Candice Miller.
When Candice finds the letter, she isn't sure she should read it. It's addressed to her grandmother, after all, who left Lambert in a cloud of shame. But the letter describes a young woman named Siobhan Washington. An injustice that happened decades ago. A mystery enfolding the letter-writer. And the fortune that awaits the person who solves the puzzle. Grandma tried and failed. But now Candice has another chance.
So with the help of Brandon Jones, the quiet boy across the street, she begins to decipher the clues in the letter. The challenge will lead them deep into Lambert's history, full of ugly deeds, forgotten heroes, and one great love; and deeper into their own families, with their own unspoken secrets. Can they find the fortune and fulfill the letter's promise before the summer ends?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ok. As a 50 something AA woman, I admit to skipping to the end of chapters in the past pre civil rights era. Political climate being what it is, I couldn’t hang. As a book to read with youth, I recommend and will send to my god daughter.
Go read it. The reader is satisfied in the end even if the protagonists do not know the whole history.
Now I want to reread the Westing Game! I have already recommended to 4 people!2 people found this helpful

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Meh...the end left you wondering. The constant back and forth in time was annoying.
