The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne
3.0
2.5 Stars Rounded Up
Decently written and interesting enough to keep me reading to the end, though often implausible... e.g. socially inept college professor is willing to forgo his job to solve mystery and is able to figure out details way ahead of law enforcement. I'd also like to think the feds would have stepped in a little sooner when the body count started rising.
And I do wish this author would learn a new way to handle gunfire in his books, other than onomatopoeia in screaming capitals with exclamation points. Having read mysteries, spy books, and thrillers for most of my life, I know it can be done.
