Award Winning Mystery Book Club Selections by Murder by the Book in Denver, Colorado
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- Murder by the Book, a mystery bookstore (http://www.murderbythebook.com) in Denver, Colorado has been in business since the early 1980's. They specialize in personal service and knowledge of mystery books. This is realized through the owner Lauri Ver Schure's personal efforts in reading a majority of the mystery books herself.
"I read a lot of books in order to make the book club selections. All book club members benefit from that."
Ms. Ver Schure's love of mystery books has become a major benefit to the book club members. Approximately once a quarter she makes a selection for each of the 3 book clubs: 1sts (the first book by a new author), cozy and hardboiled. These books are then delivered to all book club members who subscribe to the service. You can subscribe to Murder by the Book's mystery book clubs (https://www.murderbythebook.com/mystery-book-clubs-secure.asp) service online.
In 2007 many of the books that were selected for the book clubs received several book awards. They are listed below. This effort to ensure the book club members receive the best books available in their genre has paid off in the satisfaction of the entire readership.
