CLOSED for the season

MAINELY MURDERS is an independent specialty mystery bookstore devoted exclusively to suspense, crime, and detective fiction. Located in Kennebunk, Maine, our stock of more than 10,000 used, recent and hard-to-find hardcover, trade paper, and mass market volumes range from classics and cozies to tough guys and thrillers.

It’s our goal to provide not only books by today’s mystery writers but also those of their predecessors. We’re happy to offer recommendations for every taste, whether you’ve just discovered mysteries or you’re an experienced armchair detective.
