A list of the top 15 Mystery Hardcover Bestsellers for the week ending March 22nd, 2013 has been posted by the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books.
Some minor shuffling among the top four titles this week, with Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn again retaining the top spot.
But we're thinking that may change next week; Harlan Coben's new stand-alone had one of the strongest debuts we've seen in a long time (below; position in backets).

[6]: Six Years
Harlan Coben
Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.
But six years haven't come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he can't keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd's wife he's hoping for … but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she's been married to Todd for almost two decades, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life—a time he has never gotten over — is turned completely inside out.
As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can't be found, or don't remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake's search for the woman who broke his heart, who lied to him, soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on a carefully constructed fiction.Purchase Options
