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?

oh no....oh no..i so don't want to hear that??? Not in those books. *sighs* I am unfortuately noticing that a lot in the series I read that last more than 4 books where there is a strong female charature. I understand that they want to show that women enjoy sex too. that a women can be just as powerful about it as men, but can't they do that without turning thier leading ladies into ho bags???
