I was just talking about this last night with my girlfriend. Too many series drag on too long. The Stephanie Plum books are on their 18th novel, 24 if you count the novellas and spinoffs, and their was just 5 months in between Smokin' Seventeen and Explosive Eighteen. After a while it gets too repetitive. Hell, even things that could be done to help rejuvinate the series are being ignored, such as when characters don't get mentioned for years at a time.
