Excellent detective game!

This game has it all! Searching for clues and objects needed to find/get the clues/evidence at 3 locations, collecting evidence, using a blacklight to look for fingerprints, questioning people, getting lab reports, etc. It's pretty complex, as well as quite challenging. I was glad it wasn't just another of those lame seek & find murder mystery games where you look for totally random objects. I actually like those games on their own, but I hate it when they try to call it a murder mystery or detective game. My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough and I'd have liked to have had more than one case to solve. I was enjoying it so much and I just wanted to keep playing. Not forever but I completed the game in a couple hours or less, and was left wanting more and feeling a little let down, which is the only reason it didn't give it 5 stars. Regardless, I still highly recommend it to anyone and everyone, and particularly those who love a good homicide case to solve.
Good but could be better

Liked the 'solving' ... Finding clues, laser analysis (fingerprints, blood, etc.) ... But like other reviewers, it is a bit short. I would also like a 'hint' option ... So that when user gets stuck, the game points user in a direction to find that last clue that just seems unfindable. Overall tho worth the $$
Solid and fun

I enjoyed this game. Fun trying to uncover clues and put them together into a who done it and how did they do it mystery.
Very nice

I was hooked and couldn't stop playing, then the credits started rolling. Great commentary and clues throughout the game; I really enjoyed it! Can't wait for another mystery to solve!
Waste of money

I usually don't write reviews but I have played free games that were better than this. The concept is great and it is a fun game however I feel that it is an absolute waste of money for as little playing time that you get. I wouldn't recommend it even if it were free.
Really liked it, until the bugs killed me.

I really liked this game. It was challenging enough to be interesting without getting so difficult that you don't want to finish. But on level 2, it's so buggy I literally can't move on. There are 5 clues I can't open, or they won't let me into to look at the details. For example, I have the key, but the jewelry box won't open. So frustrating!!! I've uninstalled it, and updated my software. I also can't find a patch. Did I mention FRUSTRATING?!?
Great game but a tease

I was left wanting much more. This game is awesome and I could play it all day. The graphics, gameplay, and story were great. However I solved the 1 case thinking there would be more......and nope. Game over man.
Amazing game.

I've been playing iOS games since 08-09, and this is one of the best games I've played. I just wish it had one more than one crime. It's 1 crime with 3 crime scenes. Great game, but it needs a little more. :/
