Jim Huang, of The Mystery Company, is a knowledgeable expert in his field. He works tirelessly to bring in Mystery writers and local writers for workshops. Nearly every weekend there is an event at the store. For people who love to hear writers talk about their books, their research, or their craft, this store is a must.

For those interested, check out Jim's store web site at:
themysterycompany.com

Or the sister site listing ALL Indianapolis-area author events (that Jim also runs) at:
indylit.com

Jim contributes essays to a number of books, has edited several, and is the mystery expert for Thomson Gale's semiannial genre fiction guide What Do I Read Next?

Stop into his store and you'll quickly see why I gave it this glowing review. It's a great place to spend a weekend afternoon. You can even tie it into a longer weekend on the Monon trail...The Mystery Company is located immediately off the Mononn in Carmel.

This is a terrific book store for mystery lovers!
They will help you cheerfully, and also order any books they don't have. They have authors visit, and do signings. They also have book discussions once a month! What a great local business! Much more interesting than a large chain. Come visit, you'll love it too!!!!

I have never left the store without an arm full of books. Jim has never suggested a book I didn't love.

Anyone interested in Mystery Novels, you've just discovered the place. I discovered it a few years ago. Mystery Company at Carmel handles them all, including other books, and the owner is so gracious and helpful. I recently attended a book signing at the store and was very impressed at the professional, yet welcome and comfortable atmosphere, the entire evening.

I love The Mystery Company bookstore. I visited Indianapolis last April and one of the stops I made was to the store. Great selection of mysteries and very knowledgeable owner who recommended several authors who were new to me. Congratulations to Jim for winning all 3 awards for which he was nominated at the recent Bouchercon conference! Well deserved!
