The ending~Sandy McSouthers

My character was Alexander McSouthers. Sandy was his nickname. In the ending Sandy was Sam Westing. His partner was J.J. Ford. There paper towel clues were SKIES AM SHINING BROTHER. Sandy and his partner would write down things about the heirs like, their age or like their family. Sandy McSouthers was also known as Alexander McSouthers. He was also known as Samuel Westing, Julian Eastman, and Barny Northrup as we found out towards the end of the book. Sandy is a doorman. He has a big family, and was poor. Sandy had many jobs and one of them was boxing. Since he was a boxer his face was kinda damaged. Sam Westing's face was like that too, because he got in a car accident. Nobody recognized Sam Westing because of his car accident. I didn't mind my character. He was smart and sometimes funny. I had no idea the book was going to turn out like this. I really liked the book.
