Mystery readers are a loyal bunch. And it's gratifying to see that independent bookstores focused on the mystery and crime fiction genre, such as Murder by the Book in Portland OR, continue to do business despite competition from the big chains. In fact, the store has just celebrated its 25th anniversary--no small feat for an independent specialty bookstore these days.
But then there are so many mystery authors who aren't major best-sellers and can't get their books into the chain stores. Which is why mid-list mystery authors and devoted mystery readers everywhere are so happy to read success stories like this.
