Most boring game ever!!!
Worst game ever...............

TERRIBLE !
I usually buy off of reviews more than trying a game for an hour. This game is so terrible, I am actually going to delete it. I cannot tell you how boring it was. Just trust me.

Another great case to solve, but a bit of a drawback from "Death in Scarlet"
This game was almost just as great as "Death in Scarlet", but the gameplay was less interesting as well as the game itself. A few hidden objects scenes wouldn't have hurt, definitely.
The storyline is better than that of the previous game, no doubt about it. Some shady business is going on in a military academy and no one seems to speak the truth so it's up for our "women" to find out what it's all about.
The characters are more interesting and more sinister, too. The graphics, as always, are very beautiful.
The music, in this game, turned out to be a little annoying for me, after a while.
I didn't particularly liked the cutscenes. They all looked like they had been drawn by different artists, each one of them. In some, the art was beautiful, but in others it wasn't.
I think that the lack of hidden objects scenes in this game made it less fun. You had a lot of locations to visit, but you could never take in the sights since sometimes all you had to do there was pick up an object or find some clues.
Overall, it wasn't as great as "Death in Scarlet", but, make no mistake, since it's "Women's Murder Club" I loved it, too!
The storyline and the interesting characters are the best this game has to offer, really.

BRILLIANT GAME
What a brill game well worth buying and playing. I loved it from start to finish. The story was great all played around a military academy. The usual characters were played. There were 10 playable levels all incorporating finding and doing things.
Thoroughly recommend playing this game.

The best WMC game so far
This one is the best of the Women's Murder Club games I've played so far. The storyline carries this game above the rest for me. I really felt for the victims and there are some thrills to be had.
The cut-scenes were a bit slow at times, but the HO puzzles were better than in the other games.

No clutter fast and great plot
After playing many many HOGs this is something that I can recommend to beginners and advanced players alike. This is more like a clue and FROG game than a HOG. Cut screens are well done comic book style stills w/o VO.
Fast moving game, no clutter to rummage through finding useless unrelated items like in many HOG games.
I have read many James Petterson books and this story line is as good as his books.
Music blends into the game well.
There are several mini games that is different from the usual pipe,lock and other frequent puzzles. Some are even informative.
You get hints added as you go along chapter by chapter but honestly, you do not much need them.

Missing Something!
This was the first WMC I've tried and maybe didn't choose the right one as starters. Also, it's gotta be tough to try and capture the genius of a James Patterson novel through a condensed pc game.
Maybe will try a different WMC game in the future as I lost interest in this one quickly.
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

It was okay, but...
The premise of the game was okay but some of the mechanics of the game were tedious. Some of the mini-games were repeated. The cut-scenes were slow and there was no way to "click through" them. Your only options were to sit through them entirely (snore) or exit them completely. In the hidden object games, the items were sometimes so miniscule that I simply couldn't see them. Overall... it was "meeeh".

James Patterson WMC: A Darker Shade of Grey
Want to play like a real detective? then I think this game fits. You collect evidence, question the suspects, investigate and protect witness like a real police. This is one game you should not miss, with lots of interesting twist and great graphic (although I kinda dislike the between scenes, they are very slow and kind of disproportional), still they're nothing compared to the great game presented. Well done!

Less than challenging
I seem to be in the minority for this one but I found it boring. All I seemed to have to do was follow the explicit instructions to complete the puzzles. There was little to no brain work involved. If you didn't know what to do, then simply clicking on everything would solve it for you. Sorry but not a fan, the others in the series were better.
