Hmmm... Well, if you like or are interested in Psychological Thrillers and/or Suspense, I'd suggest something by Dean Koontz. He's by far the best Suspense writer I've ever heard of. Some books of his I'd suggest are... The Taking (since you said your mom was devoutly Christian I think she'd like this one... Mention it to her sometime. :wink: ) Darkness The Face Midnight (pretty sci-fi, if you like that) and Life Expectancy
