Santa Fe Mysteries: The Elk Moon Murder Review

Superior multimedia murder-mystery fun from Activision. Some old bint's been shot in the head and it's down to you to bring her killer to justice and clean the carpet up afterwards. Which means interviewing suspects, collating evidence, and generally coming over all Angela Lansbury (I had to be careful how I put that).

Amanda Donohoe pops up briefly and for once doesn't shed her clothes like autumn leaves. The review copy I was sent had the original American packaging which features a warning about 'clothed sexual touching' on the front; an excellent enticement to purchase, and a good name for a band, too.

Anyway, although not a patch on The Pandora Directive, it's polished, professional, and fairly good fun, even if it does tend to lead you by the nose a bit; the fact that it's centred around the Native American community makes things a little more interesting too. Crime fiction fans who fancy getting on a Poirot trip could do far worse, in other words.
