How Many Of Amazon's "100 Mysteries & Thrillers To Read In A Lifetime" Have You Read?
Vi-An Nguyen at Parade magazine offers a piece on Amazon's list of mysteries and thrillers to be read in a lifetime.
Mystery fans, it’s time to tally up! The book editors at Amazon.com have compiled a list of the “100 Mysteries and Thrillers to Read in a Lifetime”—a bucket list of noir reads.
The list includes blockbuster hits like Gillian Flynn‘s Gone Girl and Dan Brown‘s The Da Vinci Code, as well as classics like the fifth James Bond novel, From Russia With Love by Ian Fleming, and The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain.

The Amazon list ought be considered with great skepticism. They are, after all, interested in selling books. They are not interested in the quality of the books.
