In the mood for a thriller about a woman and her mysterious lover accused of murder? Or perhaps the story of two friends trying to rebuild their lives in a Sierra Leone village after civil war? Amazon's editors have you covered. Here are their picks for the 10 best books released in January 2014, with thoughts on each from Amazon editorial director Sara Nelson.

Oprah Winfrey recently selected the book for the new iteration of her book club. "What I think is great about is is neither [Sarah nor Handful] is perfect," Nelson says of the novel.
