Coming soon! Cozy Mystery new releases for July 2023

Cozy mystery new releases for July 2023! Toronto has been suffering from some terrible air quality lately and that’s the perfect excuse for me to stay inside and read all day (at least, that’s what I tell myself!) In any case, there are many wonderful cozy mysteries coming out in July so I hope you find something amongst all the titles I’ve gathered here to add to your TBR (To-Be-Read) list! 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! 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, this is truly just a hobby. Every little 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

For the second month in a row, I’ve created a PDF checklist of this list that you can download. If you find this downloadable list useful, please leave a comment and let me know! I’m only going to continue doing this if it’s useful (as it adds another couple of hours to my process). Click here to download the list.

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