A list of the top 15 mystery hardcover bestsellers for the week ending October 10, 2008 has been posted on the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books website.
Not much to talk about this week. There is no change in the top 4 bestselling mysteries this week and only minor changes in the top 10. For the third straight week The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the first book in The Millennium Trilogy by the late Steig Larsson sits in the top spot. [MBN note: Read our review of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.]
First appearing in August and still in the top 10 this week is From Dead to Worse, the 8th mystery in the Southern Vampire series featuring telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse by Charlaine Harris. The series is unquestionably entertaining, but recent interest is most certainly related to the success of the new HBO television show based on the series, True Blood. The story in From Dead to Worse takes place after the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the manmade explosion at the vampire summit. Everyone—human and otherwise—is stressed, including Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who is trying to cope with the fact that her boyfriend Quinn has gone missing. It's clear that things are changing—whether the weres and vamps of her corner of Louisiana like it or not. And Sookie—Friend to the Pack and blood-bonded to Eric Northman, leader of the local vampire community—is caught up in the changes. In the ensuing battles, Sookie faces danger, death, and once more, betrayal by someone she loves. And when the fur has finished flying and the cold blood finished flowing, her world will be forever altered.
