Or do you mean she's not part of that in the show? I don't think they've ever said she's not part of Special Investigations on the series. I'm a fan of the books, but the show is definitely growing on me. I miss some of the details from the books, certainly, but I recognize that a tv series is quite a different animal from a novel. If they tried to exactly reproduce the books they'd first have a lot more narration (never a good idea), and each story would span four or five episodes, also not a good idea in the present world of tv syndication packages. They also want to appeal to an audience beyond just fans of the books, so they need to broaden the potential appeal of the show. This part disappoints me, but let's face it, somebody has to pay for tv shows, and advertisers won't advertise on shows that don't have an audience.</blockquote>
