This is my favorite bookstore! It has a warm and cozy atmosphere that makes you want to browse the shelves for hours. Their selection of mysteries and thrillers is amazing, they have the latest books to hidden gems I hadn't seen anywhere else. The staff is super friendly and helpful!!

Wow! What a gem! I was not expecting to come here for Christmas shopping but in searching for a local bookstore I found Murder By The Book. HUGE selection and the employees were quick to get me the book I was looking for but also the space is set up so well I easily found an author I wanted to browse options for. While I was checking out he told me about how this was on his staff pick list and made me feel so confident in my purchase for a friend! The space is very large and open but I loved the dark and moody vibe of the decor/paint. I’ll definitely be back to kill time and browse even more!

love this book shop theme! one of the employees (possibly the owner? i don't know) was super knowledgeable, i watched her assist an inquisitive customer who only had an inkling of what he was looking for and after a few suggestions, she found exactly what he wanted i got myself a good find too, i'll go back

One of the most unique bookstores I’ve been to. I loved their curation of horror, mystery and true crime. Staff was helpful with suggestions and lots of commentary throughout the store. Signed editions were widely available in addition to gift items.

I have so much fun every time I visit this store! The staff are always so understanding and helpful. They are the nicest people and I love just talking to them about books! I’ve been attending events here for almost a year now and I have LOVED every minute! I’ve been able to meet some AMAZING authors! I look forward to visiting and attending all the events currently planned!!
