No matter how you feel about Amazon, it is impossible to deny their influence when it comes to books. And they have created a list of the best books of 2024 that you have to read. Keep reading to find out which books made their list!
Just like any list, make sure you do some research before selecting a novel to read. My recommendation is to look at reviews from other people that have read it. Or even head to Tik Tok or YouTube to see if anyone has reviewed it.
When it comes to new books, it can be hard to know what to read. Often times, people will read books from an author they know or a book series. That is unfair to new or lesser known authors and you may end up missing out on a great book.

Amazon’s team reads all the books on their list and their team is one that has earned the trust of many. And yes, their goal is to sell books but that hasn’t stopped them from doing their job. You can see the full list below!

The Fury
One of the most anticipated mystery and suspense novels of the year has to be The Fury by Alex Michaelides. His novel The Silent Patient is already considered as one of the best thrillers ever written. And he picks up right where he left up with The Fury and a murder on an island that takes inspiration from Agatha Christie’s classic novel And Then There Were None. But Michaelides flips the script and tells the story in a way that is very seldomly done.
First lie Wins
Selected by Reese Witherspoon for her book club, First Lie Wins is a cat-and-mouse thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. What happens when you don’t even know the true identity of the protagonist? As Evie Porte tracks down her latest mark, she has doubts but when her old life is used as bait, she can’t help but bite.
Conclusion
These are Amazon’s list of the best books of 2024 that you have to read. The list highlights some of the best new releases and a good start to the new year. Happy reading!
