Hello Reddit!
My mom is 75, and reading is really her only hobby. She doesn’t get out much, she’s on a very tight budget, and she normally avoids shopping on Amazon, so her access to new books is pretty limited unless I find her something.
I try to bring her books semi-regularly, but our tastes couldn’t be more different. What she does love, though, are light, cozy murder mysteries.
She’s a huge Agatha Christie fan and adored The Cat Who series by Lilian Jackson Braun. (anything with animal co-detectives really) Recently, I gave her An Elderly Woman Is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten, and she really enjoyed that and the sequel.
I’m looking for newer mysteries, ideally stuff published in the last 3–5 years, that would appeal to her taste. Any recommendations for cozy, gentle crime novels (or series) would be amazing. I'm trying to swing getting her as many suggested books as I can to hopefully keep her busy throughout the winter.
Thank you in advance 😀
