Right! Like, why would this person ,outside of being a detective of PI, be personally invested in solving this mystery? And there usually was no personal stakes involved. Or, the concept of the MC would be better served doing what the MC's actual job was. (Like, I picked up one series with a night nurse and I was like HOUSE but with MONSTERS. YES. And no. It wasn't House with Monsters. Very disappoint.)

Writing a mystery is HARD. Like, it has a certain set up and structure. A lot of authors don't know how to carry it off.

The Greta Van Helsing books are better at HOUSE BUT WITH MONSTERS - the main plot isn't great but there's a ton of background information about her job (human doctor to various supernatural beings) and things like 3D printing replacement bones for mummies and what antibiotics work on ghouls and how to do surgery on a vampire that are extremely interesting and cool.

Yeah, agree with all of this (and I kind of feel the author might actually be more interested in the world-building than the plot? Apart from the first one, which I thought was a decent story line, it feels a bit as if it's there to provide an excuse for more stuff about her job...).
