Though the country was uni;ed on the non;ction
front last week—American Sniper was the
bestselling non;ction title coast to coast—two
new novels duked it out for ;ction supremacy,
with Paula Hawkins’s buzzy debut The Girl on the
Train (Riverhead) taking three regions (see
Bestsellers, p. 15, for more on Hawkins) and
Saint Odd (Bantam), the latest Odd novel from
Dean Koontz taking four. Anthony Doerr’s literary sensation All
the Light We Cannot See (Scribner) held on to the top ;ction
spot in the Northeast (second and third place went to Hawkins
and Koontz, respectively). Here’s how it breaks down.
