Lyn-Lake, Minneapolis Mystery and crime fiction

Once Upon a Crime

A mystery specialist since 1987, packed with new, reprinted, and used crime fiction from pulp paperbacks to signed first editions. The owners host a steady stream of crime-writer signings, and if you read the genre at all, the staff will out-recommend any algorithm. A basement-level den for people who like a body in chapter one.

Saves land in your shortlist; been-heres fill your Passport. Both shape the Best of MPLS. Anonymous, never sold.
