I understand Kirkus Reviews will commence to declare its favorite books of the year during the week of November 16-22. But Amazon is already flogging its own picks. You will find the lists for all categories here. Below, though, are that online retailer’s 20 choices in the Mystery, Thriller & Suspense field:
• The Cairo Affair, by Olen Steinhauer (Minotaur)
• Chance, by Kem Nunn (Scribner)
• Cop Town, by Karin Slaughter (Delacorte Press)
• The Farm, by Tom Rob Smith (Grand Central)
• The Fever, by Megan Abbott (Little Brown)
• The Heist, by Daniel Silva (Harper)
• I Am Pilgrim, by Terry Hayes (Atria/Emily Bestler)
• The Kept, by James Scott (Harper)
• The Laughing Monsters, by Denis Johnson (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
• The Long Way Home, by Louise Penny (Minotaur)
• Natchez Burning, by Greg Iles (Morrow)
• An Officer and a Spy, by Robert Harris (Knopf)
• Personal, by Lee Child (Delacorte Press)
• Revival, by Stephen King (Scribner)
• Secrecy, by Rupert Thomson (Other Press)
• The Secret Place, by Tana French (Viking)
• The Son, by Jo Nesbø (Knopf)
• Those Who Wish Me Dead, by Michael Koryta (Little, Brown)
• Windigo Island, by William Kent Krueger (Atria)
• Wolf in White Van, by John Darnielle (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)There are few surprises here, though I suspect you won’t see Kem Nunn’s latest or Rupert Thomson’s new novel appear as frequently on 2014 favorites lists as you will see the remaining 18.
