Osman's Thursday Murder Club scores a hat-trick at the top

Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club (Viking) has secured a third week running in the UK Official Top 50 number one spot, selling 42,605 copies through Nielsen BookScan's TCM.

Lucinda Riley's seventh title in The Seven Sisters series, The Missing Sister (Macmillan), debuted in second place overall, with 23,763 copies sold, and swiped the Original Fiction number one from Pan Macmillan stablemate Peter James' Left You Dead (Macmillan). It is Riley's first ever number one in the category chart and her biggest single week of sales through the TCM by some distance, beating The Sun Sister's launch week in paperback by over 7,000 units.

Marcus Rashford and Carl Anka's You Are a Champion (Macmillan Children's) headed straight for third place in the Top 50 and scored the Children's number one spot in its first week on sale, selling 16,424 copies.

Tom Kerridge's Outdoor Cooking (Bloomsbury) debuted atop the Hardback Non-fiction chart, with 10,647 copies sold. The sudden change in the weather predictions may have helped Kerridge's barbecue recipe book fly, as summery fiction also beamed into the Top 50. Sarah Morgan's The Summer Seekers (HQ), Carole Matthews' Sunny Days and Sea Breezes (Sphere) and Taylor Reid Jenkins' Malibu Rising (Vintage) made their debuts.

Raynor Winn's The Wild Silence, the author's follow-up to the bestselling The Salt Path (Penguin), made itself heard in the Paperback Non-fiction number one. In second place, the NC500 Pocket Map (Collins) made its debut in the chart, with 4,809 copies sold. The guide to the north coast of Scotland may have been snapped up by those planning a staycation this summer.

The print market continued its healthy run, with 3.5 million books sold for £29.1m last week—up 4.1% in volume and 3.2% in value week on week.

In the Amazon charts Tom Kerridge's Outdoor Cooking (Bloomsbury) debuted at the top of the Amazon Charts' Most-Sold: Fiction top 20.
