About MBTB

WE ARE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, Monday - Saturday from 10 am - 6:30 pm, Sunday 11 am - 5 pm.
 
We have been serving the mystery reading community since 1983. We are proud to be a locally-owned independent bookstore!

Jill Hinckley began Murder by the Book (not surprisingly, one of her favorite authors is Rex Stout), and she was joined shortly afterward by Carolyn Lane. After Jill's retirement in 2008, Barbara Tom became a partner. Jean May is the store manager. Nick, Jackie, John, and Mallory round out the team.

Since so many mystery writers have series, we have become serious about series. To the best of our ability, we try to keep in stock all the books in a series.

If you are ever in Portland, Oregon, drop on by. We've got a slew of opinions -- is a gathering of mystery opinions a "clue of opinions"? -- and are happy to share them with you!
