I love the Carol Reed games. I've played all but Hope Springs Eternal. Nothing fancy, just straight forward sleuthing....find clues, objects, new locations, and talk to (colorful) characters. No "chores filler" like in Nancy Drew games.

Funny, I've never noticed the notebook in previous games, just the latest, Colour of Money.

LindaMarion -- you'll hire an editor just for us? That's doing a lot!

No need -- the way you were posting a year ago here was fine, with capitalization and typing out the full words. Just return to the way you posted in 2007!

ZooKeeper my mistake there was no notebook for hints in the others .As you say just in the last one .I think it is a good idea .I really like these games

dragonuk44, I just got back from checking walkthroughs and reviews for evidence of the notebook. I'm thinking, "You mean I could've gotten hints all this time instead of pulling my hair out strand by strand?!"

Thanks for clarifying!

No hehehe i dont hire anybody I just get a friend to do it for me , thats what I did about a year ago for a while

I didnt understand. the builtin hints system is a completely new invention an only put in to carol #5 Color of murder-2 or 3 weeks ago.
