Any (ex)fans of Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series here?

I ask because it just struck me that the Scarpetta books have declined in quality in a very similiar manner to AB:VH - each series featuring a decent character who rapidly disintegrated into blatant Mary Sue-ishness and with angst replacing plot after the series had achieved some measure of success.

Thoughts?

O_o that hold for me as well. I just started the first book and have been enjoying it. She doesn't end up with a case of ardeur, does she?

I hope not!!! Or al of a sudden the killers start draining their victems through little holes in their neck and dramatic posing. *shudders* that is a horrible thought.
