And now for something COMPLETELY Different...
the Women's Murder Club novels by James Patterson feature a reporter, a police detective and a medical examiner from San Fran--in this game, you play each chapter as a different member of the club! A member of a Southern military academy is found dead on a rocky beach near the Golden Gate--is it murder or an accident? You investigate through HO scenes, interrogations, undercover operations and forensic testing. There are lush HO scenes, moderate to challenging mini puzzles and games as well as a crime to solve! Beyond the crime is the question of what is going on at the military academy? The women, through your game play, get to the bottom of it!
If you like mysteries, enjoy HO games with a twist, like some light adventure/strategy with your HO gaming, then this is a PERFECT game for you. Yes, the 'forensic' testing was a bit of a joke--but other than that, I thought this game looked and played GREAT. Some of the puzzles were not my thing-connecting pipes or such, so I skipped them without penalty.
I never looked for a walk through, but assume there is one out there, should you need it, but even as a casual beginner, this game won't make you frustrated. I thought it was long enough, even though I could have played it longer. I did find this game bundled, so I played the first 3 Murder Club games one after the other, and loved all 3!
So try this game, I think you will like it!

Four Murder Club Mysteries, One Review
Are you a little tired of spending your leisure hours wandering through 1001 endless nights of rain and cold and 19th Century items?
WMC takes us on a slick professional and above all modern look at mystery. It incorporates modern detective techniques, modern visuals and realistic crime stories.
The HO scenes and puzzles are all doable, but not too easy. Switching from one character to another is fun too. The only downer is that, playing all three one after the other the forensic lab mini-games became boring. Still, by the third game they'd changed it to another interesting one.
I can see why a bestselling author would be willing to put his name on these games. And if you're a James Patterson fan, watching his characters come to life is a real treat.

HOG??
It was different. The puzzles were kind of fun but overall it was boring. The dialogue was extremely slow and there was no way to move it on except to skip it. I won't be buying this one.

Kept Me Entertained
I love this game. It's not really a hidden object game, as there aren't any traditional hidden object scenes. It's a game that's hard to categorize. It sort of has a bunch of mini-games. It tries to make you feel like you're an actual character, so you perform tasks related to solving the case. The story is good, and I was thoroughly engrossed when playing it.
