Cozy mystery new releases for April! How was March for you? I definitely managed to read more books and even wrote up a few reviews so overall, I’d say that Spring has really made me much more productive! And it’s great I’ve cleared off some space on my TBR, because there are lots more new books to add! For April, I’ve gathered up 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 my best to include as many new release cozy mysteries as possible but since there are HUNDREDS of books coming out so I can’t 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
