My MIL has just come out of hospital after a hysterectomy, now off work for 6 weeks possibly longer. I know she will go insane as she loves to be 'doing' stuff and won't be able to for a while. I'm putting together a hamper of bits and pieces to try and cheer her up and give her something to think about.
Anyway, I'm going to put in some books but am not sure where to start! She is into a (fairly crap lol, even she admits it!) tv program called Criminal Minds at the moment which is a mix of murder investigation and criminal psychology so I was thinking about something along those lines. I know she likes historic murder investigation stuff too, her bookshelf has lots of those medieval detective things on it, all from one series but I can't remember what its called. I know she doesn't like Patricia Cromwell. Its a bit out of my genre and I don't know what is good and what's not. The only thing I have thought of so far is The Interpretation of Murder, which is a fictional murder story involving Freud.
So, is there anything anyone can think of that might fit the bill? Would be very grateful for any suggestions or a nudge in the right direction
