She seems to have lost heart herself, in the last few books. The main characters act 'out of character', and I wondered if she is just writing from necessity, rather than truly having more to explore with the series.
I guess the moral is that I shouldn't buy a whole series at once, because I feel some pressure to read them! But I just can't in this case.

I bought nine of them and got tired of them after five books. I felt that after a couple of books it became more kind of relationship books than detective stories. The focus seemed mostly to be on the protagonists personal problems.
