Harlan Coben's 'Missing You' takes No. 1 spot on best-sellers list this week

Today is Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly breakdown of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Sellers Lists. According to those lists, there are four new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"Missing You" by Harlan Coben replaced “Power Play” by Danielle Steel as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"The Body Book" by Cameron Diaz replaced "The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet" by Mark Hyman as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"Daddy's Gone A Hunting" by Mary Higgins Clark replaced "Alex Cross, Run" by James Patterson as the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.

"Mistress" by James Patterson and David Ellis replaced “Afterburn/Aftershock” by Sylvia Day as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

There were three new books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. Those books (and their places on the list) included "Missing You" by Harlan Coben (1), "Raising Steam" by Terry Pratchett (4) and "The Auschwitz Escape" by Joel C. Rosenberg (7).

There were five new books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week. Those books included "The Promise of a Pencil" by Adam Braun (4), "Not Cool" by Greg Gutfield (5), "William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh..." by Ian Doescher (10), "Making Sense of the Bible" by Adam Hamilton (11) and "The Future of the Mind" by Michio Kaku (14).

There were two new books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. Those books included "Daddy's Gone A Hunting" by Mary Higgins Clark (1) and "The Ophelia Cut" by John Lescroat (13).

There were two books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster" by BradyGames (5) and "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg (15).
