Default Investigating Laura Bow

Hey, folks! I have a favour to ask.

I'm taking a course in Detective Fiction, and we have one assignment that can be on anything we want. SO, I am thinking of doing mine as an annotated playthrough of The Colonel's Bequest, going through the game again and looking at the themes and symbolism and how it relates to the rest of the genre.

I have the game, I have DOSbox, I have a walkthrough handy, I have plenty of material on Detective Fiction, Poe, Christie, etc. What I lack is good secondary sources on the game itself.

Can anyone point me to any articles/interviews that would be helpful? Articles on mystery games/games with female protagonists? Interviews with Roberta Williams where Laura Bow is mentioned? I've found plenty on the Quest games, but anything mentioning Bow is a little thinner on the ground, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I remembered an interview I read some time ago where she talked mainly about the game. You can find it here.

Hope this helps.
