Agreed. Is she an anthropologist or a ninja with all her dramatic and amazing situations? I always felt as though the more popular the TV series became, the more she 'ramped' up the action parts of the books.
I pushed through to book 19 and the last four were dreadful: overwrought, dramatic, and rehashes of the same old plots. Too bad, the early ones (when the reader actually had to think to keep up) were awesome.
Patricia Cornwell strikes me the same way-first 5 or 6 were excellent then the series faded away.
