This little store is absolutely fantastic!!! A great selection of books with a staff picks selection of good reads. The staff was super friendly and quite knowledgeable about the books and authors, their store and other independent bookstores as well. Can’t wait to visit again!

Stopped by while in the area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Doesn't have the widest selection but the available space is full of books. I was specifically looking for horror and they had a few but like the name implies they are heavier on the mysteries. Was still able to find a good picks that I'm excited to read on the plane. The notes on some of the books from the staff were endearing and insightful.

As an avid book detective for 60 years, I've had a full career of uncovering hidden gems of books and the gamut of treasure troves (aka bookshops) from glossy impersonal corporate ones to moldy dives in basement "Read-easies ." Mystery to Me is my favorite treasure vault of books. The excellent mystery selections are housed next to exceptional new releases, children's and Y.A. tomes, with popular fiction and classic offerings filling out the space. The staff members have an almost reverent touch as they help the various clients, gunsels, and hard-boiled dicks. By far, one of the best mysteries I've have experienced.

Amazing local book store. Staff is always helpful with recommendations in all genres. Some really great diverse kids books from local authors with great messages. And the free gift wrapping is a treat for a gift on the go!

Very nice location to browse the books. The shelf talkers make it easy to find a book you didn't know you needed. I walked out with a beautiful Winnie the Pooh book because it was on a Bookseller's shelf. Staff war super friendly .
