The Westing Game is by Ellen Raskin.

Prof. Guppy, you said you know two for sure. Pick one and be one step closer to the bonus round.

I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

I'm almost tempted to blow it, just to mess with Mr. Spot.

Nah, that'd just be cruel.

Murder on the Orient Express FTR

For the steal, was Murder on the Orient Express written by Agatha Christie?

Yes it was! You're halfway there!

What else would have worked?

"K" is for Killer is by Sue Grafton, The Postman Always Rings Twice is by James M. Cain, and Blacklist is by Sara Paretsky.

Just out of curiousity, Prof. Guppy, what was the other one you knew was by Christie and the two you knew were not?

I can name

seven

for certain, but I don't know if one of the ones I think is a Wipeout is actually a typo. Is the first answer spelled that way intentionally?
