The Sunset Towers is very confusing name.It's logic that sun is on the west,here is on the east,and it even doesen't have towers. One day,4th of July delivery boy deliverd 6 letters in front of their houses,signed by Bourney Nothrup. They saw the apartments,and the actually liked it. He did his job pretty good,he made people liked his apartments. Shops worked good in Sunset Towers and Coffee Shop worked better then chinese restaurant because it was less expensive.
One day delivery boy was telling a story about some guys who were betting for a $ for staying 2 minutes in spooky house. They ran out like ghoost was chasing them.One fella couldn't stop screaming until he hit the rock at the top of the hill.The other fella just keeping saying 2 words-purple waves.
Someone was spying in them. It was 15 years old Chris.He saw his brother Teo shaking hands with some skinny girl.Then he saw someone going inyo Westing house.Minutes later smoke starting coming out.
One day Mrs.Wexler was standing in front of a lake,she wasn't even blinking.Then Mrs. Baumbach came to cretae a wedding dress for Angela. all of them were wondering why was smoke coming out of chimney of Westing House. Suddenly Turtle came to them. She needed the witche's coustum for tonight from Mrs.Baumbac,but she was too busy creating wedding dress for Anglea,and then they strted to fight which idea is smarter. Sandy McSouthers was also noticing that some was coming out of the house. They said that nobody is up there. Sandy later asked judge if she does believe in ghosts. In the meanwhile Chris was too excited to tell the news to his brother.
No one ever paid attention to Sydelle Pulaski.They didn't know that he actually knew a lot of things they might be intersted in... The halloween moon was full.Turtle looked totally like witch.She was looking foward to go to he Westing house. Doug Hoo had aleready reached the top of the cliff. So,Turtle opend the French doors.There wasn't such thing as a ghost,she wasn't scared at all. She could stay there all night,until she saw the dead man tucked in a four-poster bed. She thought it was a dream but it wasn't...Then the morning newspapers was flug out against the front door.In newspapers were things like:''SAM WESTING FOUND DAD'' and things about his wife and daughter...
After a coup of a days the discovred that Mr.Westing was murdered!!! They needed to know who killed him. There were things like letters that Sam was writting,letters about how they must have partners and 10,000$ but there is a chance they can lose it...
