BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO QUALITATIVE REASONING: With each mystery that Shelby & Watts solve, they gently walk the reader through how they gathered clues and put the pieces of the puzzle together. Readers will come away with a clear understanding of how to qualitatively reason their way to an answer, based on the information in front of them.
