This is a pretty good novel, plays mostly fair. I kinda spotted the who really early on, but not the why or anything. I'm familiar with the Nutshell Studies that inspired the novel, I've even seen them with my own eyes (probably about the same time as the author did). It's an interesting idea to turn what was mostly meant as an instructional tool into an investigatory one. A few minor glitches, and a slight tendency for earnestness, but mostly a decent novel.
