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?

Yeah... I CAN'T STAND the perspective switch. It drives me fucking crazy. And it turned the whole thing to angst central.

And what the fuck did she do to Marino and Lucy.....??

And instead of trying to solve real, interesting crimes... everything is now happening to her, everyone is trying to kill her.

And Predator just kind of ended... without an ending. SO anticlimactic.
