Digital Bestseller Lists: Bryndza flies to top of the charts
Robert Bryndza’s Fatal Witness (Raven Street) had its eyes on the Bookstat e-book number one for the week ending 9th July. This is the author’s first appearance in the chart since December 2021, when Darkness Falls charted fourth.
Claire Douglas’ psychological thriller The Couple at No 9 (Penguin) made a return to the chart in second place. The title was priced at 99p across the early spring and racked up a string of weekly appearances in the Bookstat chart. With its price once again reduced from £2.99, perhaps with an eye on holidaying Kindle owners, The Couple at No 9 has boomeranged back up.
Bella Mackie’s How to Kill Your Family (The Borough Press) also rose back up, as Lucy Clarke’s Greek island-set One of the Girls (HarperCollins) débuted, just ahead of the week’s print number one, Miriam Margolyes’ This Much is True (John Murray).
Miranda Cowley Heller’s The Paper Palace (Penguin) scored the Publisher E-Book number one for the week ending 2nd July. The title has now notched up both weekly e-book chart poles, hitting the Bookstat top spot on 7th May.
Richard Osman and Reverend Richard Coles made it three cosy crime titles in the top six, as Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing (Little, Brown) and Lisa Jewell’s The Night She Disappeared (Cornerstone) also made returns to the top. Ana Huang’s Twisted Lies (Little, Brown) was the highest new entry, in seventh place.
Clarification Hachette has stated that This Much is True has sold 7,903 copies.
