Landmark, the entertainment and leisure retailer conducted the survey ‘Most anticipated book of 2017’. Spread across 40 cities with a sample size of 1000 respondents, aged over 15, the survey encapsulates most awaited books this year.

According to the results, thrillers take up the hot seat amongst other book genres this season as psychological thriller novelist Paula Hawkins is the third most adored author with 34.6% respondents waiting to grab the copy of new novella ‘Into The Water’.
Millenials prefer Paula Hawkins over other authors like Ken Follett, Stephen King and Dan Brown.
