John Sandford, James Patterson, and David Baldacci hold three of the five top slots on the Apple Books bestsellers list this week, while the Mueller Report is down in the tenth slot. The takeaway? Readers of e-books, long lovers of fiction, like the fictional thrillers better than the real ones. Delia Owens and E.L. James, with Where the Crawdads Sing and The Mister, respectively, hold the final two slots in the top five.
