The use of e-books should be adapted into the teaching scene not only because of its affordability or wide gamut of benefits - but particularly because of changing times, students need to be aware o. The two agents are given a task to investigate a murder at a nearby hotel and to question the suspect, a Tweep, who appears to be confused and unable to explain what exactly happened.
