Has anyone besides me read someof these books and become frustrated with the heroine being TSTL (too stupid to live)?  After the third book I gave up on the series.  She makes Abby Cooper out to have the maturity level of a five year old.  And she has her complaining constantly that her boyfriend treats her like a five year old.  Well, that because she acts like a five year old.  I don't understand why Laurie does this to her heroine.  She doesn't do that to the heroine in her "Ghost" series. 

Don't you find her character to be pretty juvenile?  It made me crazy by the end of the third book I read.

It does get better -- I just finished 7 and 8 and she almost has a brain.   

This is one of my favorite series - I really liked the last one!

I love this series, but I agree, the later books are much better.  Someone told me the 3rd or 4th book was the worst, so I was sort of prepared.  I like all of the changes in her life that take place in later books and I think the series is very well done - I can never put it down.

I've enjoyed the series..I think Abby's just arrogant..even after the latest book I think she's incapable of holding down a job or following rules but that doesn't make her TSTL..to me she's just arrogant and thinks she's invincible a bit.
