Cozy mystery new releases for July! I know this is super late (I mean, it’s late-June already) but I was so busy with work and life that I just didn’t have time to keep up with the blog. But better late than never! I thought about skipping this post for July but I didn’t want to let the month go by without recognising all the amazing books coming out.
I only include new release titles I find on NetGalley, in author/publisher newsletters or Instagram accounts, or from emails/DMs from the authors. This method means I probably leave out many great books (sorry!) but it saves me a lot of time doing it this way, so I hope you’ll understand.
If you have a book coming out and want to be included, reach me on social media (@bookfrolic on Instagram or Bluesky) or via email at stephanie@bookfrolic.com. If you spot any cozy mysteries that were left out of my list, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll update the post!
Leave a comment and let me know which books you’ll be reaching for this month!
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! ~ Stephanie x
Book info, including release date, was correct at time of posting, but may change at any time.
