Weekly Special

This Week's Special, chosen from our 2007 Gift Guide, would make a great last-minute gift for any cozy mystery reader on your list. Holiday-themed mystery novellas by three popular authors make one sweet package for This Week's Special.

Is there still time?

With Christmas a week from this coming Tuesday, you may be wondering if your online order will make it in time.

We ordinarily ship our orders UPS Ground. Located in Western Pennsylvania this means that nearby areas including Pennsylvania, part of Maryland, Western New York and Ohio are generally one day delivery. Other areas will naturally take longer up to 5 business days for the West and West Coast.

If you place an order in the next few days that includes Christmas gifts, please make a note of this in the Special Instructions section of the checkout. We'll immediately let you know whether your gift can be delivered on time. There are other options, as well, including Next Day Air, 2nd Day and 3 Day which we can use although, naturally, they will be more expensive. We'll advise you as to the cost when we respond to your order.

Who's on your list?

Whoever you have on your list: gamer, puzzler, foodie, political junkie, history buff or pop-up collector, you'll find something for them in our 2007 Holiday Gift Guide. You can dowload the Gift Guide in PDF format or, to make your holiday shopping at mysterylovers.com even easier, there is an online version you can access here.

Whichever way you look at the Gift Guide you'll be surprised at what you'll find at MLB this season.

Signed T is for Trespass

Sue Grafton's latest, T is for Trespass, is just out (goes on sale Tuesday, Dec. 4) and we've got a supply of signed copies. This would make a great gift for any Grafton fan, including yourself. We've only got a limited supply, so please don't delay in placing your order.
