I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Ran smoothly, interesting locations, great graphics, good story, sound effects, music, and really enjoyed the ending with all details explained. Look forward to the next one!

A very pretty game that runs without any bugs at all. I found this game quite enjoyable because of the large variety of locations to visit. The plot is so-so as is the voice acting and script. The puzzles are excellent however and fun to solve. Overall, it's a great game that had me glued to my screen for over 16 hours. They are hopefully going to make more of these, this one has the great graphics and gameplay of the previous games. A script editor who speaks english would be a plus, but for $19.95 I can tolerate a less than perfect game. With a little polish I could see this game selling for much more.

This game was far more annoying than the last one in this series. They improved some technical aspects, and the graphics are a bit better, but the voice acting has become so much more annoying.. It sounded like the main character's lines were read completely out of context without any idea what they were supposed to mean. I can't say if it improved after the first few sections, since I got so annoyed that I had to turn down the dialog volume completely (at least it gives you that option while still leaving all the other sounds on). If I'd had to hear her say "nothing doing" in that tone of voice again, I think I would have ended up throwing something at my computer.

There were some annoying aspects of gameplay, too. Things like refusing to pick up items that you know you're going to need until after you've had a particular conversation about something... or having to back and forth from a person to a location over and over again because you have to trigger a certain conversation before a character will give you an item that you need.

Anyway, I've played a lot of adventure games, and I'm really not THAT picky, but I think I spent more time being annoyed by this game than I did enjoying it.

This game is typical of the series. Only so, so. Terrible dialogue, annoying repetition of responses. The puzzles vary from ridiculous to inventive. I'd say save your money for something more engaging.

I was concerned when I saw an earlier reviewer say that the game would not install or run on x64 machines. I just wanted to report that it installed and is running fine on my 64 bit Windows 7 PC. As for the game itself, it does suffer from some poor English translation.

This was the best so far in the series. Good pace and a not too disappointing ending. A couple of fairly difficult challenges which heightened the enjoyment.

This game is a waste of time. It's not worth the $9.99 I payed for a digital download. It took me months to finish it because it was so boring and annoying that I didn't even want to solve the case!
The graphics are ok, and the story could have been interesting, but it failed. The dialogue is written poorly, the logic games are not any fun, and the main character is sexually harassed by her male co-workers, and even by an old handicapped man in a barn! It was very silly.
I will not be playing any more games in the Art of Murder series. You shouldn't either.

This is a game for those who like puzzle. It is a click and find game - and it is not as easy as it seems (sometimes I had to use a walkthroug). I am an adult, in my fourties, and I just love games like this. It is a really challenge - and best of all - I am the person who solve things. The game has scenes which is very difficult, and a wrong move makes you "dead". Good luck!

Good game if you are into point and click PC games. Worth the price if you have time on your hand to figure out the many puzzles and item combinations to advance to the next level. All in all a nice game

I really enjoyed this game; in fact, I've purchased several games made by City Interactive (from Amazon) and they've all been fun and mildly challenging. This particular game, though, seemed very short. Other than that, I'd recommend it to my fellow mystery gamers. ;)
