Every time a casual game takes its lead from a successful best seller there is a lot to live up to. And in the case of Women's Murder Club, the game comes close to holding up it's end of the bargain. But close only counts in........ well, you know.
Perhaps it is my disdain for the hidden object game genre that makes me give this game a thumbs down. Or perhaps it's my annoyance at game producers who shamelessly target games at woman as they know they are the ones more likely to open up the purse and make a purchase. I shouldn't blame them for this tactic, it's called knowing and understanding your marketplace. But c'mon game producers, give the ladies a fair shake. Give them some quality offerings.
The game has all the trappings of every other hidden object game we have seen over the past year. It does have some tricky puzzles and that is probably its best feature. But hey, if you liked the book and your into this genre of games, maybe it will provide you with some fun.
