Query: Same song, umpteenth verse

Patricia Cornwell used to write really great books, but now she just keeps writing the same one over and over and over... Let's see, we have the betrayal by a co-worker (check), the latest trauma for Lucy (check), the deep angst and depression (check), the persecution by mysterious groups (check), the gruesome killer with a weird agenda (check), and so on. Honestly, the paranoia and self-pity are really getting boring. I keep reading the new ones hoping she'll go back to her old form, but I'm just about to give up. It's just too tedious!
