Like many bibliophiles, I love going to local bookshops when I travel, feeling like it helps me get a better sense of the place I’m traveling in. Plus, there are many bookstores that are magical in and of themselves, like the theater turned bookstore El Ateneo Grand Splendid in Buenos Aires, Argentina, or Beerwolf Books, a bookstore/pub in Falmouth, United Kingdom. So with that magical feeling, it’s natural that there are books about bookstore mysteries. Magic and mystery are so intertwined in my mind. Without that mystery, no magic — and vice versa. So I’ve put together a list of ten delightful bookstore mysteries. Five of them will be murder mysteries, since I am a murder mystery buff; but five will also be more general mysteries, not necessarily related to murder, since there is more mystery out there than just murder mysteries (I suppose).
