If you've never tried to solve the puzzle-mystery of Sam Westing's last game, you definitely should. When Sam Westing, who has been missing for years, is found dead in the house, all of the building residents are named heirs and set to find the solution to the mystery - the prize being the Westing fortune of 200 million dollars. An ill-assorted bunch of people are purposely lured into renting apartments in a new building, just down the hill from the old Westing mansion. The Westing Game is the one everybody knows. Partly a story about coming to terms with death and finding happiness, partly really strange comedy, I think Figgs & Phantoms is a bit of an acquired taste.
Mona can't stand the idea of losing her uncle, but he keeps hinting that he's going to go to Capri - the Figg family heaven in their own little religion.
He wants to teach her his love of books, but she's only interested in the business end. Contact seller Seller Rating: Used- HardcoverCondition: Good £ 4. The Figgs used to be circus performers, and the Newtons are pretty odd too, and Mona just can't take it the only one she likes is her Uncle Florence, who used to dance in vaudeville and now deals in antique books with color plates.

Mona Newton is perpetually miserable, belonging as she does to the weirdo Figg-Newton family. Figgs & Phantoms is the strangest of the books, in which Raskin let her love of typography loose.
