Women’s Murder Club: Death in Scarlet is more than a hidden object game, much more. It is based on the characters from James Patterson’s bestselling murder mystery novels by the same name. Your job is to track down the coldblooded, barbaric serial killer. The first victim is a young Asian woman found beneath the Golden Gate Bridge in foggy San 
Francisco. You must uncover evidence as you play through several investigations. At the end, you will be able to solve the ghastly crimes of this bay city.
The investigation begins with a cartoon strip prelude to the murder mystery. The phone call goes to Lindsay Boxer, homicide detective. You are there with her at the murder scene under the bridge. You are to find objects from the list in Lindsay’s notebook. Within all the hidden object games are different types of mini puzzles. These puzzles also advance the investigation and will help reveal information.
Objects found are labeled and put in the Inventory Pad as useful or important clues and sometimes used to advance the play. A twig found on the scene is later used to distract a crab who had a diamond stud earring, an important clue. In the Investigation Docket Tab the key pieces are organized here and helps check the progress of the inquiries and what remaining pieces you may need. In the Investigation Card section the evidence cards are classified in file folders by subject and can be inspected anytime. In addition, there are 5 hints per investigation so you need to be careful and conserve these items. The number of hints is shown on the police badge in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
The investigation can move from the murder site with Lindsay Boxer to her police station or lab with Claire Washburn, the 
forensic examiner. The game is full of characters from the novel, even a newspaper reporter to a police translator. It also takes you step by step of police investigations and what tests and procedures they go through.
This Mac game is so involved and detailed you need to block a few hours of quiet time for yourself so you can give your full attention to the investigations. It will draw you into this murky, deadly world of murders with not only the hidden object sections but all the different mini puzzles. I found that some of the objects were difficult to make out, however the dead body was a little too realistic for me. It gave me the creeps. It is not for young children due to the subject matter and the graphic and realistic pictures of dead people. If you are a James Patterson or murder mystery novel fan, then you will be entertained filtering out the criminal in the Women’s Murder Club: Death in Scarlet. Enjoy yourself in this hidden object with lots of other puzzle games in the misty, shadowy background of San Francisco.
