Digital Bestseller Lists: Slaughter murders the competition
Karin Slaughter’s Pieces of Her (HarperCollins) broke into the Bookstat e-book number one, as its adaptation dropped on Netflix. Susan Lewis’ I Have Something To Tell You (HarperCollins) and Kristin Hannah’s The Four Winds (Macmillan) both rose up the chart to join Pieces of Her in the top three. David Blake’s Long Gore Hall (Black Oak) was the second-highest new entry, haunting fourth place, with Jeffery Deaver’s The Midnight Lock (HarperCollins) clocking in at sixth.
Louise Candlish’s Our House (S&S) was the second television-adapted book to chart in the Bookstat top 10, after its ITV series was broadcast last week.
Heather Morris’ Three Sisters (Zaffre) topped the Publisher E-Book Ranking for the week ending 5th March, a week after it featured as a Kindle Daily Deal, priced at 99p. Despite its price returning to £5.70, the surrounding hype was enough to keep its digital sales buoyant. Morris is no stranger to the top of the publisher-supplied e-book chart: The Tattooist of Auschwitz (Zaffre) notched up a near-straight two-year run in the top 10 across 2018 and 2019.
Donna Leon’s Give Unto Others (Penguin) débuted in fourth, as Cathy Bramley’s The Summer that Changed Us (Orion) hit sixth place.
Clarification: Hachette has stated that One Girl Missing (Bookouture) sold 1,781 digital copies.
