Is there a modern mystery series where the protagonist DOES NOT do something stupid to put themselves in mortal danger? Highly intelligent people doing dumb things is getting pretty old.

Try Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak series

Thanks. I'll give her a try.

Then avoid Kathy Reichs's Temperance Brennan books. She's the roll model for smart people doing stupid things that put them in mortal danger.

Ditto for Sara Paretski's V. I. Warshawski
