I just finished the 22nd book in the Agent Pendergast series by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child; Angel of Vengeance.
IMHO this series is overdue for an ending. What started out as crime thrillers with a paranormal hint has gone too far and isn't believable anymore. I don't mind fantastical books/series but this series started out rooted firmly in reality. It isn't that the books are now bad, but the story has clearly run its course and the authors are now making it more and more fantastical to keep going. Just send Pendergast off on his well earned retirement and let him pop up occasionally in the Nora Kelly series by the same authors (which I am enjoying so far).
I also got annoyed with the authors showing off; using more difficult words than needed and describing historical things in detail when that isn't necessary.
Now I'm in the mood for a sci-fy thriller so I've picked up Antarctica Station by A.G. Riddle.
