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?

I am giving the third vote for Alexander McCall Smith's No.1 Ladies Detective Agency novels and his other series also...If any of you have seen the HBO series (now out on DVD and replaying on HBO) it is thoroughly heartwarming and enjoyable with a wonderful cast. One being Jill Smith, known Grammy winner for R&B. If you have seen the show, please know that it is in danger of not continuing and make your wishes known....see more at www.HBO.com
