Customer favorities for 2007--

Now is the time to check for the "best books of 2007" on Amazon, according to sales through October that is, and included is a section for "mystery & thriller" novels. The list has a top 10 by sales and even an online questionnaire where you can vote for the best of the ten.

The top ten bestsellers are The Overlook by Michael Connelly, The 6th Target by James Patterson, The Quickie by James Patterson, Plum Lovin' by Janet Evanovich, Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child, The Good Husband of Zebra Drive by Alexander McCall Smith, Invisible Prey by John Sandford, Step on a Crack by James Patterson, You've Been Warned by James Patterson and--the number one bestseller--Lean Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich.



The customer survey for the best "mystery & thrillers book for 2007" (a good idea I believe, most of us are bound to agree the bestselling book is not always the critical fave) does have another winner instead of Evanovich's newest book for Stephanie Plum. At 27 percent, it's Lee Child's Bad Luck and Trouble featuring Jack Reacher.
