I liked the first two books, but can’t put my finger on why I haven’t been able to finish the others. I think it’s simply that I want more humor, which is a personal thing. The writing is pretty good, I like the characters mostly, and I learn a lot about forensics, but Maddie doesn’t seem to enjoy herself ever since the first couple of books. It’s all complain complain, as if she expected to get a gift card for having unprotected sex instead of another person.
