Title: The Murder Show
Author: Matt Goldman
Genre: Mystery
Publisher: Forge
Publication date: 15th April, 2025

Synopsis: Showrunner Ethan Harris had a hit with The Murder Show, a television crime drama that features a private detective who solves cases the police can’t. But after his pitch for the fourth season is rejected by the network, he returns home to Minnesota looking for inspiration.

His timing is fortunate ― his former classmate Ro Greeman is now a local police officer, and she’s uncovered new information about the devastating hit and run that killed their mutual friend Ricky the summer after high school. She asks Ethan to help her investigate and thinks that if he portrays the killing on The Murder Show, the publicity may bring Ricky’s killer to justice.

Ethan is skeptical that Ricky’s death was anything but a horrible accident, but with the clock running out on his career, he’s willing to try anything. It doesn’t take long for them to realize they’ve dug up more than they bargained for. Someone is dead set on stopping Ethan and Ro from looking too closely into Ricky’s death ― even if keeping them quiet means killing again…

Who sold the most books in 2024?

Who sold the most books in 2024?

by Melody E. McIntyre

For three years now, I have written here about who sold the most books each year. This question does not have an easy answer as each site uses different metrics. Therefore, finding the exact numbers can be difficult. That is why I have chosen to feature ten of the best-selling authors in 2024 based on a variety of sources.

2024 had some interesting trends. The biggest of which being the dominance of the “romantasy” genre. Fantasy overall saw an increase in sales of 35.8%, with romantasy being a driving factor. As well, 2024 saw the first increase in print book sales in the last three years. It was a modest increase of less than 1%, but it could mark the beginning of a new trend. I still remember when it seemed like e-books would kill print sales, but that has not been the case.  Other trends show that adult fiction still sells the most and having a good backlist is key. As mentioned on Lithub, only 29% of the 200 bestselling books of 2024 were actually published in 2024.

This year’s list will include some regulars as well as new names and a couple of surprises. So, without further delay, here is a list of ten of the best-selling authors of 2024.
