I personally am very much a Rosamund Clifford fan, I like it old-school Agatha Christie-style.

Having said that Shasa, Rina and Devika's opening salvo of "WEREWOLVES!!" sticks in my head ALWAYS, from Cry 'Wolf'... 'Werewolf'!) as a memorable line...

And of characters I can't go past Chi Chi the Chorus Girl from Zeo's 'Of Phoenix and Concubines' and Daisy and Misty from Rosa's 'Murder on the Sleuthetania'.

oh and I should add 'Murder in Manhattan'! It's an easy case with 6 suspects, and is completely linear, but its simplicity is what makes it unique and, I think, enjoyable.

I'm a fan of The Exector's End

My favorite will probably be The Executor's End, by Heimlich VonVictor - that story was so brillianty formed and very interesting in it's own way - I remember when I first played it, I had to quit it at least twice, due to clam ups and not getting the required questions done to lead to the eventual whodunnit - person :(

Furthermore, I always liked Joseph Zeo's mysteries. A nice plot, lots of interesting and developed characters... It has it all :)

A special recommendation I want to give to "Wheel of Misfortune". That one was very interesting, because from what I recall, you really had to pay close attention to what everyone said, otherwise, it could end the story very badly.. and that's why I love it :) - because it forces you to pay attention to even the littlest details and ask: "Is it worth remembering or not?"
