Grace Wexler's Murder In The Westing Game By Ellen Raskin

The Westing Games In the book The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, Sam Westing is murdered. Out of all the heirs Grace Wexler stands out. Grace is always where the bombs go off. Grace also loves money this gives her a motive to kill Sam Westing. This makes Grace the most likely suspect. Admittedly it might seem like Grace Wexler is sweet and carefree in life. However she once said to Angela that she would do anything for her with that she could possibly want to help her daughter with wealth in life and kill for the cause. For instance Grace Wexler could have availability of having inheritance funds if she killed Sam Westing. With this in mind if she had the inheritance funds she could give her daughter them. Grace Wexler also could be the murderer
However Grace Wexler may not seem like the suspect but she has the opportunity and motive to kill. Grace has the opportunity because she is a resident at Sun Hill Towers that would give her the opportunity to go to the westing house and murder Sam Westing. Grace Wexler is snoopy and could easily point people against others through gossip. James Shin Hoo also couldn't have killed him because he is to focused on his restaurant. Bertha Crow couldn't be the murder because she is to shy to even talk to most, I can't see her committing murder. Finally Grace Wexler is almost too innocent. Grace Wexler is willing to do anything as long as it benefits her and her family. For example, she gets a job, she wouldn't have to do that if her and her family had money to spend. She is always away when something set up is happening or she is doing something unsuspicious. She also could have planted things in people's home being an “interior decorator.” In conclusion Grace Wexler has many things pointing against her and the evidence make her the suspect everyone is looking
