SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN BEST OF THE BAY 2008
BEST MASTER OF MYSTERIES:
A bookstore that sells mysteries shouldn't be clean and well-lighted. It should look and smell and feel like it came out of the dark streets of Victorian London. And although the San Francisco Mystery Bookstore isn't by any means dingy or dank, it's got that wonderful cluttered feel of a place owned by someone who loves books and tolerates a bit of chaos. There are paperback mysteries everywhere—in the shelves, on the windowsill, stacked up by the cash register, tucked away in the back. There are selections by famous authors you've never heard of. And best of all, the people who work there are as obsessed with whodunits as we are—they seem to have read everything by everybody and are happy to talk, recommend, critique, or chat. Or are they?
