I do agree (if this is your opinion) that the current eBook price on your link, $14.99, is high for an author who seems to come out with a new book every 3-4 weeks.

J. K. Rowling/Robert Galbraith, who I'm sure puts in more work on each book, came out with a new one today for which Amazon is charging $25.20 for hardcover (from Amazon directly) and $9.99 for the eBook. This, of course, does fit my eBook-is-cheaper-for-the-first-couple-years thesis. Maybe both eBook prices have a little something to do with the Hachette dispute, since I'd think the reverse pricing ($9.99 for last year's Patterson, and $14.99 for today's J.K. Rowling) would make more marketing sense.
I just checked the price from Sweden om amazon.com and it is $17.59. So more like what you tought would make more sense.
