If you followed Sue Grafton's multi-book Kinsey Millhone aphabet series, you'd know that the novels never grew out of the 1980s (25 books in that series, I believe, as Grafton passed away prior to finishing the "Z" installment. And Carole Nelson Douglas's "Midnight Louie" series ended after 28 books (well, actually after 32 if you count the 4-book romance series), and although technology advanced with the books, the timeline didn't move quite as quickly.

However, if you're ready for it to end, you really don't have to keep reading them, you know. I've stopped following a couple of series just because I lost interest in the characters after many books. It's okay. For me, I'll keeping reading the Stephanie's as long as Evanovich is willing to write them!(less)
