Love Your Local Bookstore: Murder By The Book


Murder By The Book is one of the nation's oldest and largest mystery specialty bookstores, established in 1980 by Martha Farrington, and purchased by McKenna Jordan in 2009.  The store stocks over 25,000 books -- new & used, hardbacks & paperbacks, first editions, collectibles, gift items, mystery magazines, and more.  In 2011, we hosted over 200 of the hottest mystery, crime, and fantasy authors for book signing events.  We've had everyone from Dick Francis to P.D. James, Sue Grafton to Robert Crais, Michael Connelly to Patricia Cornwell, James Lee Burke to Daniel Silva.

Murder By The Book is located in Houston, Texas within five minutes of the Texas Medical Center & Rice University, and ten minutes from the Galleria.  Off U.S. 59, take the Greenbriar exit; head south on Greenbriar; one light from 59 is Bissonnet St; turn right on Bissonnet; we're ahead on the right (2342 Bissonnet), between Kirby and Greenbriar.  
For large events, additional street parking can be found on Morningside, and South Blvd.  Please do not park behind the store.  This area is for employees and authors. 
Store Hours:
Monday thru Saturday
10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sunday
11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 
We stay open late on nights when we host author events, so feel free to give us a call to see if we'll be open after 6.   

Be sure to check out their upcoming events...
December:  Holiday Party on Wednesday, December 11 at 7:00 p.m.
