The Naturalist

Alas, another one bites the dust.

I strongly dislike DNFing this at the low percentage I did (6%, 23 pages in) but the hook just wasn't there. The opening was fantastic (placed us right in the middle of a murder) but everything afterward was exposition - I don't quite care about the unique area of study the main character is working with, except for how it directly relates to the story. After I turned a new chapter and found we were being placed with more exposition (something about the natural order of nature, or how the systems work, I don't quite recall) I closed the book and moved on.
