I second the nominations for Nancy Martin's Blackbird Sisters mysteries and for Lawrence Block's "The Burglar Who..." series. I'd like to add Chris Grabenstein to the list. His three Jersey shore mysteries (Mad Mouse, Tilt A Whirl and the new Whack a Mole) are really funny, with a great voice. Also a new author, Susan Goodwill, whose Briga-DOOM is about a girl trying to restore her family's classic old theater on a lake in Michigan.

If you have room, here are a couple of suggestion: Lawrence Block and his Bernie Rhodenbarr series. The Burglar Who Thought he was Bogart, The Burglar on the Prowl, The Burglar Who Studied Spinoza, etc. Also, Joan Hess's Maggody series (Maggody is a place in Arkansas.) These are laugh out loud funny and full of larger than life characters. P.S. I also love anything written by Carl Hiassen.

Liz Evans writes very funny books starring her haples private investigator, Grace Smith. Set in an English seaside town, the series starts with 'Barking'.<br />
Leigh Redhead's books about private investigator and ex-stripper Simone Kirsch are also great fun. Set in Melbourne, the first book is 'Peepshow'. Although, these may be a little risque for you mother!

Patricia, Karen MacInerney's Gray Whale Inn Mysteriers are light. B & B Cozies. Her first is Murder on the Rock and her second, just out is Dead and Berried. Karen is a friend of mine and a great writer. Syl

Donna Moore is, of course, too modest to include her own novel, Go to Helena Handbasket, but, believe me, it's hilarious.

Great suggestions thus far...and I'd like to add a few of my favorites...how about Elaine Viets, Laura Durham, Cathy Pickens, Casey Daniels (nearly laughed myself silly with that one). Just about anything in the 'geezer lit' corner of the cozy mystery section always gives me a grin or two as well. Old people are just funny! And the older I get, the funnier they become! LOL...<br />
