Book Recs?

Okay folks, I'm in serious need of some assistance. My mom has finally started reading more and more now that she's retired and I'm having trouble keeping her in books! I never thought I'd have this problem, it was always the other way around.

She loves books like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and the Bird series by Donna Andrews. Mysteries that are a little funny. I've found her a couple authors she likes but she's going through about 3 books a week, give or take, so I need more authors for her to try. I've given her Diane Mott Davidson and some other chick I've now forgotten this week to see if she likes them. Any other ideas?

She might like in the cozy mysteries type:

Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen mysteries

Laura Childs' Tea Shop mysteries

Monica Ferris' Needlework mysteries

I just added the Joanne Fluke novels to my to-read list a couple of days ago. I'm happy to see someone recommending them here! :)
