Some books do a first person point of view, and then break away for a third person perspective. The first time I encountered this (I think it was a James Patterson) I was quite disconcerted by the technique, but nowadays find it quite natural, and it helps ameliorate the problem you describe. Jonathan Kellerman also uses it to good effect in his latter Alex Delaware novels.
