I love this game the story line is great. But like all other match 3 games they think making levels that are hard to pass is enjoyable, it's not. I play these games for relaxation but when you can't get past a level it's frustrating. And there aren't many chances to obtain power ups to help pass these extremely hard levels. Get ready to spend money if you expect to pass some levels.

Despite all the murders, this game takes me to a happy place. The setting and characters are cute and the dialog is fun. I love the humorous banter between the leads. Also, you only have to watch ads if you want (or need) to earn extras. Some people complain that the levels are too hard. But they're supposed to be. Slow down, think about what needs to be done to beat the level, and keep trying. I wish Rovio would make more games like this.

I thought I'd love this game. The ads suggest that I'd be looking for clues and using observation and logic to solve murders. But it's a series of Bejeweled games with a few text items in between. You arrive at a crime scene, have a few "clues" that you "investigate". The investigation is always a bejeweled game. The clues don't really give you much info but are a pretext for forcing you to play another bejeweled game. It's very repetitive. On top of that, you have to beat each of the games attached to each clue or suspect. There are no hints. You can buy extra moves, though. It all seems designed to make you pay money if you want to progress.
