Coming soon! Cozy Mystery new releases for August 2024

Cozy mystery new releases for August! We’re smack dab in the middle of summer here in Canada and while I’ve been trying to spend as much time outside as possible to soak up the sun, I’m still getting lots of reading done as well. How about you? For August, I’ve found nearly 150 titles for you to check out! Leave a comment and let me know which books you’ll be reaching for this month!

Every month I try to include as many new release cozy mysteries as possible but since there are HUNDREDS of books coming out I can’t possibly list them all! If you know any cozy mysteries that were left out of my list, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll add it to the post. (Authors! If you have a new cozy mystery release coming out, send me an email at stephanie@bookfrolic.com and I’ll include it!)

If you’ve found this list useful, please consider supporting my blog with a tiny donation! It takes me several hours to put together a list like this and since I do not have ads or affiliate links on this site, every bit of your donation gets put right back into the cost of running this blog (web hosting, domain fees, etc). Thank you so much! xo ~ Stephanie

Book info, including release date, was correct at time of posting, but may change at any time.
