I'm for it if I like the book. Some are good some are bad and probably more are so-so.
I read some Robert Goldsborough Nero Wolfe books, and liked them. Robert B. Parker's Jesse Stone books by Michael Brandman - good, Spenser by Ace Atkins - so so and the Christmas book finished by his editor deteriorated quickly.
The one I have a hard time dealing with is the Robert K. Tanenbaum Butch Karp books which I love, but they were actually ghostwritten from the beginning by his cousin and then they had a falling out and supposedly Tanenbaum is writing them now.
Lot of series are written by different authors - coauthors and many I have enjoyed, many I haven't. thieves World and Wildcards come to mind.
As long as there is no trickery involved, and perhaps even if there is, I don't get all nutso about it. If I like the book, good, if I don't, I don't have to read the next one although sometimes I will. After all I have read some less than stellar books by authors I love, and it doesn't affect how I view the books that caused me to love them.
