Cozy mystery new releases for April 2022! Well, it’s the end of March and finally the weather is starting to warm up. I love the summer and can’t wait for the warm weather. Even if I’m only sitting outside reading, it’s so nice to be in the sunshine.
I finally broke my reading slump and am catching up on a lot of fun cozies, but it feels like every time I manage to tick a book off my TBR, I add 10 new ones. LOL. Oh well, I’m sure you all have the same problem!
Every month I try my best to include as many new books as possible but honestly, there are HUNDREDS of books coming out each month so I can’t possibly list them all! If you know of any cozy mystery new releases coming out in April that aren’t listed below, feel free to leave a comment and let us know about it. (Authors! If you have a new cozy mystery coming out next month or at a future date, send me an email at stephanie@bookfrolic.com and I’ll make sure to add it to the appropriate post!)
(You may have noticed that the titles are no longer linked as they were in the past. I’ve decided to leave the Amazon affiliate program so therefore will no longer be linking to them (sorry for the inconvenience!) but I do encourage you to check out these books at your local bookstore or online!
- Book info, including release date, was correct at time of posting, but may change at any time.
