Partners & Crime, the mystery bookshop at 44 Greenwich Avenue, announces it will close after 18 years
In August 2012, owners Maggie Griffin, Maggie Topkis and Kizmin Reeves said Partners & Crime Mystery Booksellers would close its doors at 44 Greenwich Avenue on September 20. Beyond selling crime fiction, the shop hosted a weekly 1940s-style radio show in its back room and readings by authors such as James Patterson and P.D. James. Topkis said no single cause was to blame, pointing to the shrinking share of hardcover sales and the hard times for independent bookstores, and she praised the landlord.
