Heh, I do hope you read the synopsis of some of the anime being recommended here Animefreak17a.

Anyway, perhaps Steins;Gate? It does feature mystery to an extent, and the whole second half the series is dramatic, a thriller at best. Comedy too, if she understands some of the jokes, as well as some emotional moments.

Good luck!

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

You say Angel Beats is winning, while in reality it only holds a single vote... You may have shot down the bible black recommendation which held three times the votes of your "Winning" Anime, but there's still Please Rape Me! and Boku no Pico which are far ahead here... If you're not open to suggestions then why make a thread for recommendations...?
To put it best....

Anyways, I vote:

Penguindrum
Millennium Actress
Kaiba
Shiki
FLCL

And from I heard, Higashi no Eden and Tatami Galaxy, but I haven't watched those.

Angel Beats, though I say this purely because its my favorite anime. Steins Gate might work better though, tbh.

Baccano seems like a solid choice, maybe Sword of the Stranger might be a good animated movie to show her.

Monster. This is a great thriller - not as fast-paced as Death Note - but has lots of great plot twists and emotional drama. There is a bit of mystery, but it's more philosophical than whodunnit. This is the one I'd recommend above the others.

From the short list you compiled, I'd go with Count of Monte Cristo. This doesn't have that much humor to it - it's a very serious story - but there is some mystery as to who the Count is (probably not that mysterious if you're vaguely familiar with the story), with terrific emotional drama and some solid plot twists.

Baccano! would be one to save for later, because the way it tells the story can be a little confusing. It's not in chronological order - even different scenes within an episode can be during different times - but by the third episode it all starts coming together. This has some solid comedy, but is also a very good mystery with some solid drama and plot twists. Definitely a winner.

got my mum in to watching FMA we've watched 7 episodes already and she seems to like it. my dad watched FMA 2003 with me ages ago and suggested it to my mum, so all the one suggested by you guys will have to wait.

i think Baccano is a good choice too

Baccano, if your mum can stomach the violence and gore.

Also, are you watching FMA 2003 or Brotherhood? You should stop 2003 and start Brotherhood, way better.

Jigoku Shoujo - Mystery, Psychological
xxxHOLiC - Comedy, Mystery, Drama
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro - Mystery, Comedy
Karakuri Zoushi Ayatsuri Sakon - Mystery, Thriller
Red Garden - Mystery, Drama

if she's more for action ye Code Geass could be fun/interesting

random guess..
baccano- is good but might be 2complicated 2follow for her (might be anoying) :?
basilisk - hmm can't tell rly
vampire knights - might like the 1st season, but the second doubt it :?
angel beats - hmm dunno her taste
the count of monte cristo - didn't watch
ghost hunt - could be likeable at least
romeo X juliet - didn't watch

Sweetpea I've noticed you are usually right with recommendations. I was just thinking Monster would be the most appropriate considering she likes Death Note. It's seems like the next logical step anyways, I've always personally liked Monster better.

Also I was really thinking since she's a mother why not watch a nice family friendly drama/action/fantasy series like -

Kemono no Souja Erin
Seirei no Moriboto

The above is really high quality anime if ya ask me, go for those first. In any case here is more appropriate anime that a mature person might like, especially if she has any interest at all in sci-fi or supernatural themes -

Planetes
Mushishi
Mononoke
