Query: expected fun and sassy....not stupid

My sister raved about this series so I picked up the first book as a 'tester'. Given the multitudes of rave reviews, I expected something much better. I had never read anything by this author beforehand, and it's highly unlikely that I'll read any more in this series. I'm not much into sexist violence, and I'm certainly NOT into stupid women who can't think their way out of a cardboard box. Stephanie Plum seemed to constantly blunder into situations that anyone with an ounce of brains would avoid or solve positively. It's just plain STUPID. I'll leave this series to those who enjoy it....but that doesn't include me. And I do read the occasional 'chic lit' book....Jodi Picoult, Elin Hilderbrand, Jennifer Weiner...but this book doesn't even come CLOSE.Not sure why this isn't coming up as an amazon verified purchase: I bought the kindle version (scratching head)...
