Gillian McAllister Famous Last Words Penguin, £9.99, 9781405957243


Debuting in 17th in the previous TCM chart, Gillian McAllister’s latest thriller, Famous Last Words, has risen 10 places to seventh this week following a 35.5% boost in sales to 8,229 copies sold. That takes McAllister’s total in the first two weeks to 14,538 copies – 16.9% down compared with 2024’s Just Another Missing Person – but it does match up with 2021’s That Night, which, like Famous Last Words, also appeared in the Richard and Judy Book Club.
