What's an Algorithm Anyhow?

The Sleuth Sisters are (Choose one: A) Lucky, B) Amazing, C) Specific) enough to have gained the attention of the AAs. I often get recommendations to buy Maggie Pill's books when I go on as Peg Herring. That's great, and as long as the newest installment rises high enough in some rankings (Amazon has a ton of them), people see older titles on the page as they consider what to buy next.
What's hard to understand sometimes is why they think I would like a book. This morning, for example, when I visited PERIL, PLOTS, and PUPPIES to check its ratings, I got the following recommendations: a book of short stories, a Seattle cozy (I get that), a thriller about Nazis (I'm thinking Barb being the Grammar Nazi brought that on), a thriller about Washington politics, and a mystery set during the English Regency. How do those relate to three sisters in Michigan?
I'm sure the algorithms know more about it than I do, but it seems like a crazy stew to me.
If you haven't looked at the new book yet, here's the link:
