Cozy mystery new releases for January 2024! Happy New Year! I hope 2024 has gotten off to a great start for you. I know, this post is SUPER late, but the holidays were quite busy, plus I got really sick right after Christmas and my energy levels didn’t recover until this past week, so I’m behind on EVERYTHING. I didn’t want to miss celebrating all the lovely books that come out this month (my birthday month!!) so I still wanted to get this up. I’ve gathered up nearly 200 titles so I’m sure there’s something for everyone in this list. 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 books as possible but honestly, there are HUNDREDS of books coming out so I can’t list them all! If you know any new cozy mysteries that aren’t listed below, 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.
