Hawthorne Boulevard Books

Murder By the Book, located in Portland, Oregon, was a beloved mystery bookstore that closed its physical store in April 2013 but continues to operate through its website. Despite the closure, Murder By the Book remains committed to providing mystery enthusiasts with news, reviews, and information about all things mysterious through their Facebook page and blog. They value the sense of community that was fostered over the years and welcome ideas and suggestions from their loyal readers. With an extensive list of favorite books of all time, Murder By the Book ensures that readers will never run out of thrilling reads. They also host a book group, led by Portland author Lori L. Lake, where monthly selections are discussed and chosen by Barbara Tom, one of the former owners. Although the in-person meetings have been put on hold, Murder By the Book eagerly awaits the day when they can gather again. In the meantime, readers can find plenty of book recommendations on their blog and participate in the virtual book group discussions.Generated from the website
