The Scene – Anyone wishing to pen "The Ballad of the Independent Bookstore" would be well advised to drop into this green-carpeted basement bookseller. In addition to striving to be a "full-service crime novel" bookshop, it's also built a robust community of mystery lovers through a comprehensive newsletter, author readings, Saturday night radio plays, and a lending library. – – The Goods – The approximately 3,000 square feet of this doublewide brownstone forces its three female owners more into the role of curator than archivist, hence their bible project: a permanent…

Best Bookstore
by mysterenyc
Best of the best. If you are a mystery fan, this is a visit you owe to yourself. The selection is great, the readings exciting, the staff friendly and interested in finding you a perfect read every time. The store is beautiful and the owners and staff sensational. Too many of these bookstore have perished, but Partners and Crime remains and a loyal clientele will tell you, Long live the specialty bookstore!
P.S. and they have cookies for the dogs too.
- Pros: Best advice

Best Mystery Book Store Anywhere
by holstermakers
Every time we travel to New York City one of our first stops (and the last before we leave for the airport) is to Partners & Crime. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable and provide excellent service. Kiz Reeves, one of the owners, has been especially helpful and she really knows her stuff. She has been a great resource providing us with suggestions for young readers as well as locating hard to find first editions which she will hunt down for you (she might even have it already!). You can also call in your order from anywhere and they will ship worldwide. They have a great website and the "Partner's Picks" and the "100 Best" are the first areas I go to when I am buying new books for my self, friends and family. If you can't get to NYC to visit this charming book store go to their web site at Crimepays. Crime really does pay when it comes to this great mystery book store.
- Pros: In a great part of the village, easy to walk to and comfortable to sit and read a while too.
