I need to get a book for my mummy. Her authors of choice include Alistair McClean (sp?), [early] Agatha Christie, Ian Fleming, and many others who's names have escaped me. I think we have every book these ppl ever wrote, or at least she's read all of them. Looking for new authors of the same genre - espionage, action, drama, mystery, thriller.
She does not do James Patterson, Dean Koontz (sp?), Stephen King and others of the same ilk. She is not interested in best sellers but ppl who have a great story and write it well. I've tried other authors but by the middle of the book she always knows who's the killer/betrayer/rat.
So, any suggestions?
Oh, and she also enjoyed the Harry Potter series but has no interest in human interest stories or romance.
