This is the first game from the Women's Murder Club series that I played and I loved how different it is from the usual creepy themed games I normally play. I really liked the investigative nature of the game as a whole, and how you get to play each of the four principal characters in solving the murder. I especially enjoyed the laboratory scenes, as that's what I do in real life, but it's different in that I'm studying evidence for a murder case. The story is very well-developed, as are the characters, and I enjoyed almost everything except for the limited hint system and frequently very small items in the hidden object scenes. This is an older game and reminiscent of the earlier ones in the Mystery Case Files series when unlimited and refillable hints were not yet the norm in casual games. I think the game would have been better had it been an adventure game instead of straight hidden objects. It would have made the gameplay more realistic and fun because you're collecting evidence and the wandering around would have made more sense. But at least there are no penalties for misclicks and the hidden objects were scattered in the scenes and not in junkpiles. The minigames were challenging at times but all are skippable. My favorite is the map game where you narrow down the street locations through the process of elimination. All in all, I had a good time playing my first computer game where it actually felt like I was investigating something for real. Show less

I recommend this game!

As usual, to me James Patterson WMC game series always deliver. I love the storyline, good graphics and puzzles, although I find difficulty in one scene where we have to find objects using our flashlight. There are many suspects and you investigate them like probably a real police do. I love this game.

I recommend this game!

This is another entertaining mystery created by Floodlight Games. Despite the fact that some of the Hidden Object items are difficult to locate, "Twice in a Blue Moon" haunts you with its unnerving serial killer and spooks you with realistic crime scenes. The murder-solving team of female detective, forensic lab examiner and diligent reporter keeps the storyline action moving along at breakneck* speed [*pun intended, lol]. In addition to HOGs, there are also mini-games which you're able to play or skip [though I always looked forward to the clever Cup-o-Joe game available in the writers' cafe. So fun!] The plot development is created by the celebrated real-life author James Patterson and that is probably why it's very absorbing. Even though the HOGs are quite challenging, I had to rate the graphics a five [overall] since the crime scenes were extremely well done artistically. Now I've played 2 of the Women's Murder Club video game series and will likely buy them all as they're well made and exciting for sure. Show less

This game is the only one out of the series that doesn't quite have the same feel to it. This one is about a serial killer and everything is quite a bit heavier and darker. It's not necessarily a feel-good kind of game, given the heavy tone of the story, but it is still fun to play and the ending is great! This one is more interesting and serious, than fun, really.

I care for interesting storylines, and this game (like the rest of the series) provided a great one. Switching between several viewpoints is also a nice gimmick.

Gameplay-wise, the game is a mix of hidden-object search, adventure-game-like item management, and other misc puzzles meant to simulate the legwork of running a police investigation.

I recommend this game!

This is a great Detective game it is better than Criminal Minds. Story line is good you can finish it in one night. The graphics were nice it could have more complex puzzles. This will not challenge your intellect but it will entertain you.
