Years ago, I read, on a recommendation, a novel titled No Lesser Plea by Robert K. Tananbaum, and it was very good. The author was supposed to have worked with the DA's office, had his picture on the flyleaf, blah blah. I followed the series for years over a bunch of novels until I picked one up that was so obviously not written by the same person that I did a little digging - and what I found was that not only was he not the author of the current novel, neither had he been the author of any of the preceding novels. So the writer I had been following and enjoying was a writer, not a "name" and now I'm very cynical of authors with a following.
The same happened with a Florida author (not Hiaasen, can't remember), whose books I ate up over a decade or more, until I picked up with one that I knew was not the same author. By then I didn't care who wrote the first 10 or so, but I knew they had moved on and I never read another with that "author's" name on it.

I've also read the above: those double author things and I don't care who did the work, I'm not interested.
