With fall very much here, this is the most epic time to curl up with a cozy blanket and read a good book.
September always seems to creep up on us, which is why I didn’t get too much reading done. But, some of the books I’ve picked up and finished are some of the best I’ve read all year. And, I’ve read more than 100 books so far in 2024.
Ahead, you’ll find a collection of some of the best fall books, along with some epic thrillers and mysteries that are ideal for a spooky season. Even better, these titles can be found on audible, should you prefer listening while walking or on your morning commute.

About the book: “What Have You Done?” by Shari Lapena explores the unraveling of a family’s secrets and tensions when a woman is found dead, prompting intense scrutiny and revelations that challenge perceptions of trust and loyalty.
If you want the next best thriller, this one was a full ride. I’ve been a fan of Lapena for quite some time, so I knew this was going to be at the top of my reading list this month. As expected, I was pleased.
“Fairhill is a town where no one locks their front door, everyone knows everybody else and raising kids is the town’s communal job,” Vannessa Cronin, Amazon books editor, told the New York Post. “But all of that changes when the body of Diana Brewer is discovered by a farmer in a hayfield. The town then instantly turns from friendly to a fearful hub of suspicion, paranoia, and accusation. The big hook here though is the artful way Lapena gives the late Diana a voice in this addictive thriller.”

About the book: “An Ambush of Widows” by Jeff Abbott follows two widows whose lives intertwine after their husbands are murdered, leading them to uncover dark secrets and confront a web of deception that threatens their safety.
This title is one of the five-star reads I completed in 2024, hands down. Not enough people are talking about this super twisty and entirely engaging plot that centers on two widows who are uncovering a web of secrets. You’ll never guess the ending, either.
