James Patterson: Women's Murder Club - Games of Passion

James Patterson: Women's Murder Club: Games of Passion combines hidden-object gameplay, adventure elements, and mini-games in a mystery based on James Patterson's best-selling novel series.

A string of seemingly unrelated deaths unfolds in San Francisco. Players join the Women's Murder Club as Lindsay, Cindy, or Claire, using each character's skills to investigate the case. Lindsay examines murder scenes for clues, while Claire works to determine causes of death and other findings from the bodies.

The Nintendo DS is generally held like a book, with a traditional orientation used for the mahjong mini-game. Investigations have no time limit and do not penalize incorrect object selections. On Nintendo DSi, the Photo Mysteries option adds extra mystery stories built around photos taken of family members, household items, or pets.
