A list of the top 15 mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending January 25, 2008 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.
A quiet week. No change in the top 5 books and only 1 change in the top 15.
The newcomer this week is a stand-alone thriller by the author of the Joe Pickett mysteries, Blue Heaven by C. J. Box. A twelve-year-old girl and her younger brother go on the run in the woods of North Idaho, pursued by four men they have just watched commit murder--four men who know exactly who William and Annie are, and who know exactly where their desperate mother is waiting for news of her children's fate. Retired cops from Los Angeles, the killers easily persuade the inexperienced sheriff to let them lead the search for the missing children. William and Annie's unexpected savior comes in the form of an old-school rancher teetering on the brink of foreclosure. But as one man against four who will stop at nothing to silence their witnesses, Jess Rawlins needs allies, and he knows that one word to the wrong person could seal the fate of the children or their mother. In a town where most of the ranches like his have turned into acres of ranchettes populated by strangers, finding someone to trust won't be easy. Kirkus Reviews calls Blue Heaven, "... a suspenseful tour de force."
