So, as is probably obvious, I love to read. I come by it honestly, as everyone in my family loves to read, although I don’t think my brother reads as much as everyone else does. (Possibly because he has a life. But that’s neither here nor there.)

But the person who I most take after may be my grandmother, who also loves to read, but due to the circumstances of being 87, doesn’t get to the library much. So whenever I visit I take down books for her to borrow, so that she has something to read when they can’t get to the library.

The problem is that she’s now gone through ALL my mysteries. I have a handful of books I’m taking down next trip, but I’m pretty certain that she’s already read them. (Last year she reread JA Jance’s JP Beaumont series, because she wasn’t certain at first if she’d read them.)

She likes everything from Agatha Christie to Robert Parker to Anne Perry to Peter Tremayne (She really liked Peter Tremayne and she loves Anne Perry).

So… I need some recommendations for good mysteries. You can look at the complete list of my mysteries, to see what she’s gone through in my library. It would be better if I can find the books used, since she gets suspicious if I bring up new books, but I did get her several Laura Lippman books, which she things are great (I’m just waiting for another occasion to get her more. I can’t just send her the books for no reason, because then she gets mad I’m spending money on her.)

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
