Amazon reveals the UK public’s fascination with Richard Osman thrillers, one pan recipes and a headstart before New Year’s self improvement.

Richard Osman has topped the Amazon best-sellers list for 2022, while one-pan recipes and self-help books also saw a surge in interest according to the online retailer. Osman’s latest book in his Thursday Murder Club series, The Bullet That Missed, is one of two books by the Pointless co-creator on the 2022 best sellers list, with The Man Who Died Twice appearing at number seven.

It was a good year also for Colleen Hoover; the author who made a name for herself through self-publishing her works “so my mum could read them on her Amazon Kindle,” saw two of her books in the overall top ten. Much of this can be attributed to a huge TikTok campaign with supporters spreading her name far and wide to the extent that Simon & Schuster have now commissioned two books from her by 2024 and 2026.

A perennial favourite, especially around Christmas, the humble cookbook has once again charged up Amazon’s best-sellers list, with Jamie Oliver penning a book dedicated to the simple art of one-pan meals (cooking using just one pot). He is joined on the list by Kay and Kate Allinson’s book of healthy, tasty meals with their cookbook Pinch of Nom Comfort Food.
