An anthology featuring short stories by the best of the best writers of mystery and suspense, including winners of the Edgar Award, Bibliomysteries edited by Otto Penzler deserves a place on every fan’s bookshelf. —New York Journal of Books

Superior. Fans of all mystery subgenres will find something to enjoy.—Publishers Weekly

Readers who love books will love reading about books, the people who love them, the people who kill for them, and the people who kill with them—often the very same people.—Kirkus Reviews

The tales feature books and bibliophiles, and the best of them is easily John Connolly’s ‘The Caxton Lending Library and Book Depository,’ which won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Short Story. Hot on its heels in terms of quality is Thomas H. Cook’s ‘What’s in a Name?’ The remainder of the collection is almost universally enthralling. A must for mystery shelves.—Booklist

A welcome anthology for bibliophiles. It features 15 tales with an impressive range—international thriller, whodunit, hardboiled, and contemporary Western—with a single unifying theme: books and the people who love them. The quality of the tales is unusually high and it is, at least as of this writing, the best anthology I’ve read all year.—Mystery Scene

This anthology presents a balance worth recognizing and a welcome addition to the library of any book lover, with our without bloodshed.—PopMatters

Otto Penzler’s entertaining new anthology Bibliomysteries puts a book or books—or a bookstore or library—at the heart of 15 engaging stories. —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

One of the best crime anthologies I’ve encountered in a long, long time. Bibliomysteries is a two-fold celebration of what makes books great. Penzler has done it again with this one. —Tulsa Book Review
