Mystery Bestsellers for May 02, 2008

A list of the top 15 mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending May 02, 2008 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.

More reshuffling of the bestselling mysteries this week though The Miracle at Speedy Motors by Alexander McCall Smith retains the number one position.

New this week: Just missing the top 15 last week but coming in at number 8 this week is Santa Fe Dead, the third mystery in the Ed Eagle series by Stuart Woods. When last encountered (in Short Straw), Ed had been the target of a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by his wife, Barbara, the ultimate black widow. But when Barbara escapes from police custody, Ed knows that not only will his life be in danger but also the life of his new girlfriend, and, of course, of any rich man unlucky enough to be lured into Barbara's web. To add to his troubles, Ed has taken on a new client, Don Wells, who may or may not have murdered his own wife and son. From the posh resorts of southern California to the New Mexico desert and the seedy hotels of Tijuana, Ed Eagle will follow every lead—and hope that he doesn't wind up Santa Fe dead..
