Great way to spend rainy day.
Purchased a while back but just “cracked” it today. Not super difficult but engaging. I enjoyed it.
Heavily narrative and puzzle-focused. Moderate difficulty.

Post Mortem LA: Lights, Camera, Murder!
Case Synopsis
“Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.” — Marilyn Monroe
Movie star Clara Rose and her estranged husband are discovered shot to death on the dusty backlot of Orpheum Pictures. Classic murder-suicide? Hollywood rivalries that became too real? Mob debts unpaid? Or perhaps something far more sinister…
Due to a profound corruption scandal, the District Attorney has given the Global Detective Agency temporary jurisdiction and oversight of the LAPD. And so -- in need of more gumshoes on the ground -- they are looking to recruit a large number of probationary cautionary auxiliary investigators. That would be you.
And now it is up to you to find the truth.
The package sent to you will contain all the resources you need to carve your path around LA, interrogate suspects, and solve the murder. But please remember: Although an exciting opportunity, discretion is a must. The walls have ears.
And as we say at the GDA: Our eyes never sleep.

I bought this mystery for my daughter, but we worked on it together. We are having a good time with it! I like some of the characters mentioned in the storyline! We hope to solve it the next time we get together.
More narrative oriented than puzzle oriented, but I love how the story unfolds with every bit of evidence you find.
A throughly enjoyable experience. Just when you think you have it figured out there is a twist! A solid theme with a great vintage feel.
So glad you enjoyed the experience! And yes, we are full of twists and turns...
I ordered this for my partner for a Christmas treat and we had a blast solving this crime. I was raised on Nancy Drew, so this really set my sleuth-loving heart ablaze. It took us roughly 7 hours over 2 days to complete. Whenever we came to a dead end we would recalibrate and go in from a different perspective and find our way again. The evidence packs are so realistic and I was surprised at how professional and genuine it all was. We've played other games like this from other companies that really cut corners on quality. I would absolutely recommended this product and we will be ordering again from the company. If I could nitpick at all it would be that I wanted a few more puzzles or things we had to figure out to solve, rather than just looking for leads, but it didn't detract from how great it was. Thanks for an incredible Christmas adventure.
