How about Jaan Puhvel's "Comparative Mythology" Johns Hopkins Univ.
Press 1987? It's been referenced a number of times on this list.
Puhvel is an Indo-Europeanist and an expert on Hittite, so his
approach should be appealing to most of us (which isn't to say he
can't be as wrong as anyone else).

harder to reconstruct with any confidence than features of the IE
