Seattle Mystery Bookshop
Seattle Mystery Bookshop
The Seattle Mystery Bookshop lives in the perfect location in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood on the first floor of an old stone building that is crammed full of mystery books and makes you feel a bit like Sherlock Holmes (or Watson, whichever suits you more). You can tell the staff love their jobs and love the genre. They have a large selection of signed copies, which we have found make for great gifts (even if they are for your own bookshelf).
