The Westing Game Essay “The police are helpless, The culprit is far too cunning to be apprehended for this dastardly deed.” (pg 29). The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin was a fantastic novel that left you guessing until the end. The elements of mystery Raskin used were main conflict, setting, characterization, and a specific technique where she revealed all the clues to solve the case.
