A list of the top 15 Mystery Hardcover Bestsellers for the week ending April 11th, 2014 has been posted by the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books.
Missing You by Harlan Coben, a stand-alone we consider one of the best books of the year — read our review, here — stays atop the list this week though elsewhere there is a lot of shuffling.
Two new titles enter the list this week (rank in [brackets]).

[9]: Carnal Curiosity
Stuart Woods
— Stone Barrington (29th)
Stone Barrington seems to have a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
When Manhattan's elite are beset by a series of clever crimes — and Stone is a material witness — he and his former partner Dino Bacchetti find themselves drawn into the world of high-end security and fraud, where insider knowledge and access are limited to a privileged few, and the wealthy are made vulnerable by the very systems meant to keep them safe.
As Stone and Dino delve deeper into their investigation, they learn that the mastermind behind the incidents may have some intimate ties to Stone … and that the biggest heist is still to come.
