Mystery bookstore Clues Unlimited in Tucson, Ariz., will close permanently at the end of the month. Owner Christine Burke wrote in a Facebook post that the store, which she's owned since 1996, is a casualty of "the global pandemic and advancing age."
Until the store closes, all new releases will be 20% off, and all used mass market paperbacks will be $2. Used trade paperbacks and hardcovers, will go for $5. The store will be open for appointments until Saturday, December 26.
"We have been selling the best mysteries and have presented some of the great writers of the genre for signings and events, including Tony Hillerman, Lee Child, Anne Perry, Laurie R. King, Michael McGarrity, Craig Johnson, and C.J. Box," wrote Burke. "Thank you all for your support over the years. You have become more than customers--you have become friends and allies."
