Grace Wexler
Grace Windsor Wexler is the wife of Jake Wexler and the mother of Turtle and Angela. They live in apartment 3D of Sunset Towers. She claims to be the actual niece of Sam Westing. Strangely, Grace Windsor Wexler is not her actual name. It is really Grace Windkloppel Wexler. Windkloppel is her actual maiden name. Sam Westing's actual name is Windy Windkloppel, which means that her claims about being Sam's actual niece may be true. Grace was very enthusiastic about buying the Sunset Towers apartment because she always wants to be thought of by her peers as rich and fancy. Sunset Towers seemed very exclusive. For the reading of the will, Grace wrote "heiress" for position. Grace always wanted to be an interior decorator, but she instead became a restaurateur. Her partner is Mr. Hoo, and she started working at his restaurant. Years later, she created her own chain of ten restaurants: "Hoo's on First?", "Hoo's on Second?", "Hoo's on Third?", all the way to "Hoo's on Tenth?". Grace and James's clues are FRUITED, PURPLE, WAVES, FOUR, SEA. With some help from Jake, they figured that purple+fruit=plum, with a left over "ed". When this is added to the beginning, it spells out Ed Plum. They believe that it is the attorney.
