London: After nearly 21 years, Murder One, the popular specialist crime bookshop, co-owned by Maxim Jakubowski and who has written some wonderful stories for the Guardian Books Blog UK, will close at the end of January. Murder One features prominently on Charing Cross Road and faces the top end of Leicester Square. Sales in recent years have been poor and the bookshop is to go into voluntary liquidation.
