Well, a dear elderly lady friend slipped and hurt her leg. She is now quite immobile and will be so for a little while. I wanted to get her a few books to read as she likes reading but she likes mystery like the Agatha Christie stuff. I am more into arty farty stuff myself , so not a clue of current mystery novels. Any help will be much appreciated .Thanks

Buy her a kindle instead. She can choose her own books then

Book Tokens make for a wonderful and thoughtful gesture.

I would but she is 82yo and not into technology and online stuff so I don't want to stress her out

Manchester (she/her)

I did a quick Google search for alternatives and found suggestions of Ruth Rendell, Margaret Millar, and Josephine Tay.

Consider if she needs large print or audio format.

Seems she's not mobile enough to get out and spend them?

I think so too, though no doubt she will tell me off for implying she is old
