'Inherit Midnight,' by Kate Kae Myers: EW review

Who knew that a global scavenger hunt dreamed up by a wealthy matriarch trying to decide which family member deserves to inherit her vast fortune could be such fun? Our 17-year-old black-sheep protagonist Avery finally has a chance to prove she’s every bit as worthy as her estranged relatives by deciphering clues and continent-hopping her way around the globe, from Venezuela to Scotland to Croatia. Myers has created a mash-up of The Amazing Race and The Westing Game—a madcap romp full of twists and turns that you hope will never end. Good news: The last few pages perfectly set up a second installment. B+
