The Name of the Game Was Murder:
Samantha is shocked when she meets her great-uncle, the famous novelist Augustus Trevor. Hes a mean-spirited man who has just invited-blackmailed-a group of celebrities to come to his island mansion and participate in a “game.” But when Augustus is found murdered, its up to Samantha to join the game-and win.
“An entertaining read. . . . The clues-and the way Sam, with lots of serendipity, puzzles through them-are clever indeed.”-Kirkus Reviews
