Book Recs?

[munin]

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?

Elizabeth Peters has a long series that's all about a woman who's an archaeologist during Victorian times. Each book covers a year and right now they're finally past World War I. The style is very light and humorous, though, and the protagonist is a joy to read especially because of her quirky first-person narrative.
