Partners & Crime
We started reading mysteries in earnest while preparing for a trip to Iceland. Looking for someone in addition to Halldor Laxness who might tell us about life on that volcanic island, we discovered Arnaldur Indriðason; before a trip to Barcelona, we found Alicia Gimenez-Bartlett, and suddenly we had another item on our standrad pre-vacation to-do list: find and read the best mysteries set wherever we're headed. And that --- rather than linking to our vacation photos --- brings us to the point of this post.
It wasn't long before we discovered Partners & Crime, the best bookstore in the city for all things detective. Located in Greenwich Village, the bookstore only sells mysteries, thrillers, spy novels, and detective stories, in a slightly threadbare below-sidewalk space. A handful of comfortable chairs, an in-store library, a knowledgeable and passionate staff, and a cheerfully idiosyncratic shelving system ("The Cheese Factor," "Murder and Mayhem," "Exotic Locales") is about as inviting a combination as we can imagine. If they had a cat, we'd probably never leave.
