Sam Westing: The Murder Of James Hoo

Decent Essays
What I suspect is that Sam Westing was murdered by James Hoo. I think this because James is always angry for no reason. Also long ago Sam Westing took James’ invention and used it as his own. This is why I suspect James Hoo for murdering Sam Westing. Why he killed him was to get back for taking his invention and making Sam Westing death look like a accident.

James Hoo, when they were reading the will on page 29 saying “Either that or he ate once too often at that greasy coffee shop” James is always angry, mad, or making some come back from the last saying, for no reason. Even when they are in a sad moment he is always barking at everyone also. “I live in 4 C” he also is always snapping at people on page 44 when they were going over
