Mystery Bestsellers for January 11, 2008

A list of the top 15 mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending January 11, 2008 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.

Debuting in the 7th position this week is the second "between the numbers" (and third non-numbered) book in the Stephanie Plum series, Plum Lucky by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie Plum has a way of attracting danger, lunatics, oddballs, bad luck ... and mystery men. And no one is more mysterious than the unmentionable Diesel. He’s back and hot on the trail of a little man in green pants who’s lost a giant bag of money. Problem is, the money isn’t exactly lost. Stephanie’s Grandma Mazur has found it, and like any good New Jersey senior citizen, she’s hightailed it in a Winnebago to Atlantic City and hit the slots. With Lula and Connie in tow, Stephanie attempts to bring Grandma home, but the luck of the Irish is rubbing off on everyone: Lula’s found a job modeling plus-size lingerie. Connie’s found a guy. Diesel’s found Stephanie. And Stephanie has found herself in over her head with a caper involving thrice-stolen money, a racehorse, a car chase, and a bad case of hives. Kirkus Reviews states, "[N]obody reads Evanovich for plots or characters, and the frantic, anything-for-a-laugh jokes are brand new and nonstop."

Also new this week is a non-series thriller by Laurie R. King, Touchstone, a gripping tale of intrigue, terrorism, and explosive passions begins with a visit to a recluse upon whom the fate of an entire nation may rest.
