Field notes
Each case is structured around four evidence packets and Nora Vale’s grids, which ask readers to match visitors, rooms, objects, and arrival times. A fifth testimony can be revealed online, exposed with the optional red lens, or read in the printed transcripts; the homepage says complete solutions are at the back of the journal. It also says the 100 digital reveal pages need no account or purchase verification.
