Prime Crime closes up shop

Prime Crime Mystery Bookstore, a popular shop in Ottawa’s Glebe neighbourhood, has announced it will close its doors on March 13th. The store opened in 1985, and owner Linda Wiken, who is also a crime writer, has been running it since 1995. Wiken told the Ottawa Citizen she had been trying to sell the store for over a year, and that it was “just time to move on.”

Despite the presence of big-box book retailers in Ottawa, Prime Crime carved out of a niche for itself. The 300-square-foot store with the skeleton in the window won the 2001 Canadian Booksellers Association award as specialty bookseller of the year.
