Death off the Cuff

I must say, this one was difficult to get through. It is a murder mystery told from the point of view of a famous investigator. The story basically involves him (you) asking around a hotel about the death of a colonel. The main character is a Sherlock Holmes-type person, self-assured and witty. I finally had to use the walkthrough to try to get through it, and even then I eventually found myself blocked. It was interesting, both in concept and execution, but it quickly became tedious when I could no longer progress.
