A list of the top 15 Mystery Hardcover Bestsellers for the week ending October 25th, 2013 has been posted by the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books.
Several titles moved up sharply in the list this week, but Doctor Sleep by Stephen King remains at number one, probably for its last week.
One new title debuts this week (rank in [brackets]).

[8]: Sycamore Row
John Grisham
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier.
The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row?
