Query: Humor is forced.

I've waited breathlessly for all of the Stephanie Plum series and enjoyed them up until "Six" when I felt that some of the humor was over the top. Now, with 'Seven', I didn't even read past page 50 because the author has dredged up yet another mishap at the funeral home (we've been there before), and the books seem to be veering toward comedy with a little mystery, instead of a mystery with some funny moments. I think her humor in the last two books has been forced. More farce than the sharp humor shown in previous books. I enjoyed her writing much more when she wasn't trying to hard to be funny. So, I don't know what happened to Morelli and Stephanie...sigh.
