A list of the top 15 mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending September 05, 2008 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.
Some significant changes near the top of this week's bestseller list, but Moscow Rules by Daniel Silva retains the top spot for the fourth straight week. Only one new title enters the top 15.
Coming in at number 14 is Sweetheart by Chelsea Cain, a sequel to her first novel, Heartsick. When the body of a young woman is discovered in Portland’s Forest Park, Detective Archie Sheridan is reminded of the last time they found a body there, more than a decade ago: it turned out to be the Beauty Killer’s first victim, and Archie’s first case. This body can't be one of Gretchen's—she’s in prison—but after help from reporter Susan Ward uncovers the dead woman's identity, it turns into another big case. Trouble is, Archie can't focus on the new investigation because the Beauty Killer case has exploded: Gretchen Lowell has escaped from prison. Archie hadn't seen her in two months; he'd moved back in with his family and sworn off visiting her. Though it should feel like progress, he actually feels worse. The news of her escape spreads like wildfire, but secretly, he's relieved. He knows he's the only one who can catch her, and in fact, he has a plan to get out from under her thumb once and for all. Publishers Weekly calls Sweetheart "superb" and adds, "With its brisk pacing, carefully metered violence and tortured hero, Cain's sophomore effort will leave readers desperate for more."
