I just finished the ABC Murders and really liked it. I searched on BF to look for more, but didn't come up with anything. Thanks for any help.

Thanks, Marian. IMO: a dumb decision by BF.

Big Fish also carried 4:50 from Paddington, Dead Man's Folly, and there might have been one more.
Last year all of the Cake Mania games were removed. I know that Sandlot, the developer, was bought out by a company called Digital Chocolate, and that may have had something to do with their removal. Gamehouse doesn't appear to carry the games anymore either.
And the first two Hidden Expedition games that Eipix did, the games with Smithsonian in the title, have also been taken down. I figure they must have had some kind of agreement with the Smithsonian which expired, or something like that.
Those are just a few examples of games that have been removed.

I didn't know about Big Fish had 4:50 from Paddington or Dead Man's Folly, but the Big Fish search engine is abysmal and I can never find anything with it. I try to search for games in a series and it throws completely different, unrelated games at me, simply because they are "popular" or something. It looks like Digital Chocolate was also sold -- to a company called "RockYou". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_ChocolateAnd it looks like "RockYou" is an ad company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RockYouSince 2014, it has engaged primarily in the purchases of rights to classic video games; it incorporates in-game ads and re-distributes the games. Sad fate for the games -- to be polluted with ads.

I liked ABC Murders except for the bugs. I regularly had to quit and renter because the examine person or talk to person options would frequently not appear. Also the lack of skip puzzle options makes it more like a miniadventure game rather than a casual game.
Its been so long since I've read the book I can't remember exactly how it ended so not sure whether game matched it or not.
Yeah BF search engine has problems. I'll search a series title to see if I missed any games and it won't even show me the games I know I played in the series on occasion.
Currently Playing: Adventure Game: Broken Age Darkside: Star Wars: The Old Republic

Guybrush: I used a written w/t which greatly helped with some of the puzzles. I really enjoy detective games and really wish there were more.
