A list of the top ten mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending September 07, 2007 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.
As predicted last week, Kathy Reichs latest Temperance Brennan mystery, Bones to Ashes, owns the top position in this week's mystery bestseller list.
New on the list this week: HeartSick by Chelsea Cain. Portland Detective Archie Sheridan spent ten years tracking Gretchen Lowell, a beautiful serial killer, but in the end she caught him. Gretchen kidnapped Archie and tortured him for ten days, then she released him and turned herself in. Now Gretchen is locked away, while Archie is in a prison of another kind—addicted to painkillers, and powerless to erase those ten days from his mind. When another killer begins snatching teenage girls, Archie knows that he has to pull himself together and investigate the murders. Newspaper reporter Susan Ward begins following Archie’s investigation, sparking a deadly game between Archie, Susan, the new killer, and even Gretchen. They need to catch a killer, and maybe somehow Archie can now free himself from Gretchen once and for all. The New York Times states that HeartSick is "lurid and suspenseful with well-drawn characters, plenty of grisly surprises and tart dialog, it delivers what readers of this particular kind of thriller expect."
