The Mysterious Bookshop

Opened in 1979 by Otto Penzler, The Mysterious Bookshop is the oldest mystery specialist book store in America. Previously located in midtown, the bookshop now calls Tribeca its home.

We publish a weekly update highlighting the best in mystery fiction, including information on upcoming signings and events, new releases, our crime book subscription clubs, and recently acquired rare books. Or, keep in touch on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.

Our Bibliomystery series features novellas by some of the biggest authors in the genre, written exclusively for our store. We also publish limited editions of books by authors like Michael Connelly, James Ellroy, and Lee Child. 

The shop is open 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday, 11:00 am to 7:00 pm.
