This series has completely jumped the shark. If anyone threatened an ongoing FBI operation with exposure, especially with the lives of agents at risk, the FBI would simply pick that person up for questioning or for interfering with an official investigation and hold them until the operation was over. They wouldn’t give in to petty civilian interference. And they’d be 100% in the right.
Also, it’s strange that the author has been putting the heroine in much more dangerous situations while still portraying her as having no real skills other than pluck and stubbornness. If someone changes careers and becomes a P.I., it isn’t too much to expect that they’d train, especially when their life, or the lives of others, could depend on it. It’s a jarring disconnect in the internal world of the novels.
I like fun mysteries with plucky female detectives, but the fictional world still needs to have an internal logic that makes sense.
