Two books by James Patterson, Criss Cross and The 19th Christmas, written with Maxine Paetro, have hit the Apple Books store's bestseller list at #5 and #1 respectively as the holiday selling season plugs on. Alex Michaelides's bestseller from earlier this year, The Silent Patient, is #2, while Nicholas Searle's The Good Liar has jumped to #3, buoyed by the film adaptation starring Ian McKellan and Helen Mirren. David Baldacci's A Minute to Midnight is #4.
