An independent book shop specializing in mystery and suspense novels is closing after a seven-year run in Carmel.
The Mystery Company in the Arts & Design District plans to host a farewell party Jan. 30, and close
for good a few days later. The shop, which is owned by husband-and-wife team Jim Huang and Jennie G. Jacobson,
will offer $10 off any purchase of $40 or more and $30 off $100 or more. Huang has been selling mystery
books for 22 years, in Boston, Kalamazoo and Carmel. The couple is moving to Ohio, where he'll manage the
Kenyon College bookstore. "It's hard to express how disappointed we are that things didn't work out
at The Mystery Company, and how much we'll miss the many friends we've made here in Indiana," Huang
wrote on his blog. "We've given this everything we could and we've
had a great run. In the end, though, it just wasn't enough."

If you do want to report on some positive goings on here in Carmel that are relegated to building, there is the Keystone Const 4 story $40 millon Lofts and shops building. It is now out of the ground on Main Street.
The new $12.5 million office building for SEP engineering is coming out of the ground in the City Center development. This is the result of a use of a Non Profit development Corp. If none of the above is exciting we can find a subway opening or something similar.
