Rubbery Murders Complaints

One reason that people don't like Rubbery Murders is that it doesn't really touch on motives... while being an extremely ordinary case that you are detached from. Yes, there are vague hints to Flute Street, but it cost the same as Flute Street that you might just pay for the place.
It is basically on the same level as the Term Passing Murder Case except you pay 25 Fate for it and can accuse people out of bad reasons instead of doing your job properly.
The Long-Lost Daughter one is just as vague, but it is significant enough to your character that it can makes for some further roleplaying or at least be provoking. You might have made a friend, or an underling, or an ally, or trounced her without care. You might be hurt or not. It is not the best written thing ever, but it does add something to your character's story that other stories could not (if you think it fits, of course).
They aren't bad, it is just that most won't think it is worth the price tag in comparison to everything else. For the price of Rubbery Murder you could be actually jumping around Flute Street or get Theological Husbandry or two Christmas stories. Sending a bunch of fate rose-gift to people probably makes you feel fuzzier than playing Rubbery Murder, too, so do that first.

So they're not bad, just markedly inferior.

If you go in with high expectations, prepare to be disappointed, but if you purchase the content with the full intent to enjoy it, you *probably* will.
