For an excellent female protag series look up Carol O'Connell (her stand alone Judas Child is one of the most engrossing thrillers I've ever read.) Linda Fairstein is another writer with a good female protag. I don't think you'll be disappointed in either of those writers and the writing and series is much more consistent than the aforementioned series. Konrath's true love appears to be hellacious horror, bizarre horror and bizarre, and the horror installed itself in a series that did not start out to be horror. I have not read past the one book that was filled with horror elements.
FWIW.

Thanks for that. I've been thinking of giving Linda Fairstein a try for a while now. I'll also have to look up Carol O'Connell. A good thriller can be a fun read.
