Reddit mentions of The Bat: The First Inspector Harry Hole Novel (Harry Hole Series)

Perhaps Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn would be something for your Grandmother.

As to Murder Mystery's I can recommen Scandinavian crime literature(I'm Scandinavian myself, so I might be a little biased). First I can recommend a series by Jo Nesbø, it's a link to the first book in his series about inspector Harry Hole.

I can also recommend Jussi Alder-Olsens series about Department Q It's also a link to the first book in the series. It's about a cop, who is not following the rules of the murder department and as a result gets put in the basement and have to work on old cases. It's quite good and surprisingly funny.

Somwhat of a classic series in Scandinavian Crime literature is The Millennium by Steig Larsson Series Series, which has a pretty damm good story. The first book is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

As to Horror The Shining by Stephen King is always a good read, maybe not gory, but it freaked me out, when I read the first time.

You can check them out and see if anything would fit to what your Grandmother enjoys. I hope you find something good.

I wouldn't mind at all if you sent the rain my way. Rainy days are some of my absolute favorites. I like curling up where it's nice and cozy and watching it fall with a warm drink and my dog. Unfortunately right now I'm anticipating fifteen inches of snow instead, and there's just nothing cozy about that.


If I'm hanging out indoors due to weather, I always want to have a good book on hand to read while I watch mother nature do its thing. Right now, I'm dying for this one, which is the first in a crime series I'm trying to start. Sadly it's absolutely nowhere to be found at my local library, and I'm getting frustrated!


Thanks so much for the contest, and I hope you have a cozy rainy evening.
