Coming soon! Cozy Mystery new releases for April 2023

Cozy mystery new releases for April 2023! There are a lot of great new cozy mysteries coming out in April so I hope you find something interesting to add to your TBR (To-Be-Read) list this month from the almost 150 titles I’ve gathered here! Leave a comment and let me know what has caught your eye!

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 any cozy mystery releases coming out that aren’t listed below, feel free to leave a comment and let me know about it and I’ll add it to the post. (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!)

If you’ve found this list useful, please consider supporting my blog with a tiny donation! Every little bit gets put right back into the cost of running this blog (web hosting, domain fees, etc). Thank you!

(You may have noticed I no longer include every cover image – it was taking me days to put this together and also taking up a lot of space on my drive to store all these images, so to ensure I can keep putting this list out without spending days doing it, I’ve streamlined the process to just show a few of the lovely covers and focus on the book list itself.

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