One of the games released on Big Fish by the Tex Murphy game designers has been removed from the Big Fish website. I have it and its name is Murder Island: Secret of Tantalus. Fortunately it's in my Purchase History. Unfortunately the publisher was Playfirst and all of their casual games were removed from the website years ago.
Others still on Big Fish include Escape from Thunder Island and The Race to Shangri La.
I think that's it, but I would have to do more research to make sure.
Jane Jensen casual games include (this is taken off Wikipedia):
BeTrapped! (2004) (designer) Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile (2007) (designer, director) Agatha Christie: Peril at End House (2007) (designer, director) Women's Murder Club: Death in Scarlet (2007) (designer, director) Dr. Lynch: Grave Secrets (2008) (designer, director) Women's Murder Club: A Darker Shade of Grey (2008) (designer, director) Agatha Christie: Dead Man's Folly (2009) (creative director) Women's Murder Club: Twice in a Blue Moon (2009) (designer, director) Deadtime Stories (2009) (creator, designer, director)
She also was the designer of Inspector Parker, another casual game on Big Fish.
Unfortunately, the Agatha Christies are no longer on the Big Fish website.

Betrapped can be found here on Big Fish.Death on the Nile, Peril at End House, and Dead Man's Folly were removed years ago. Of those three, I only have Death on the Nile. Chris Jones (Tex Murphy) did a voiceover in one of the Three Cards games, and it was so nice to hear him again. I would have bought the game just because of that!

I certainly have two Agatha Christie games - and have played both - but would have to check on the third - AND on the others in your list, Marian 🙂

Yes, I know Betrapped is on Big Fish. The game is too hard for me and I could not get very far in it. It's installed on my Win 7 computer and I have actually tried it out again in the not to distant past. Still couldn't get anywhere in it, and in fact, I'm probably even worse at it now than I was when I bought the game years ago. Have you ever played it?
The two I could not find on Big Fish are Escape from Thunder Island and The Race to Shangri La. You are right, ob! I just looked and it appears that they have both been removed. This removal must have occurred in the last year or two. Really glad I have them in my Purchase History. They still have the walkthroughs but not the games. What a shame. I think I looked at Betrapped for about 15 minutes years ago, so I can't really say that I have played it. I don't think I really understood what was going on either, though, and would need to give it more time. Mad, there used to be other Agatha Christie games on Big Fish as well as the titles I mentioned, but sadly most if not all of them have been removed. I wish now that I had purchased them when they were available.

Hi, Marian! Thank you so much for the list. I copied and pasted your post into a Microsoft Word document so I can check the list against the games I have. I know I'm missing some, so shame on me ! Have a nice weekend! Susan

That sounds right up my alley, ob! Thanks for letting us know. I have enjoyed most if not all of the Gogii games I have played. Susan, you are welcome and have a nice weekend. I am sorry that two of the Big Finish (Tex Murphy) games I mentioned have been removed from Big Fish. I finished Vampire Legends: The True Story of Kisilova CE yesterday. Nice game!

I checked and only have two Agatha Christie games at Big Fish - but I have several others on disc. And I do have Deadtime Stories at Big Fish - but none of the others on that particular list of yours, Marian
