What People Are Saying About Seattle Mystery Bookshop

In Short
So, really, who did it? Bill Farley did, when he thrilled Seattle mystery lovers in 1990 with the start of his subterranean bookshop. Not only do all forms of new and used intrigue--from spy stories to true crime--lurk in this Pioneer Square bookstore, but so does a depth of knowledge of the genre, courtesy of the well-read staff. This well-stocked store is set for browsing, with sections such as Sherlockiana, Animysteries (suspenseful animal tales), Serious Killers and popular authors.
