Engaging characters set off to follow the mysterious clues of the will of an elderly, wealthy eccentric for a chance at winning the grand prize. Young grief and loss, family guilt, secrets, and hilarity are featured throughout. Plus: ghosts!

This one is like a Westing Game for adults or a Ready Player One for our times, and set in the greater Boston area, there’s sure to be some sights and places that you recognize.
