Best Bookstore

by mysterenyc at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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.

The real deal.

In the heart of Greenwich Village, take a few steps down to find this gem, new books, favorites. Everything you could hope for if you are a mystery fan. Ask for advice, they are readers too. Oh joy!

• Pros: Superb selection.
• Cons: No mega-store discounts. (Do you believe in independent bookstores? Show your support.)

They steer you to the best reading, just your style

When was the last time you asked a bookstore employee what would be a good read? Try it here, and they'll ask intelligent questions about your preferences and guide you to a great new discovery.

Partners in Crime is a must destination, with great ambience, great selections and great advice. My mate even went there and got a gift recommendation for me that I loved.

We always go to Elephant & Castle down the street for dinner after stopping by the bookstore. Hope they don't both become crowded with tourists after this!

• Pros: great customer service and recommendations
• Cons: not always as cheap as the big box stores, but worth the difference
