Cozy mystery new releases for March! Unfortunately, I missed putting together this post for February (sorry to the authors that had book release dates last month!) I just had a lot happen in January and just ran out of time. But I’m back for March – slightly late but happy to be here!
I only include new release titles and dates that I find on NetGalley, in authors/publishers newsletters or Instagram accounts, or from emails/DMs directly from the authors.
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. This method means I probably leave out many great books (sorry!) but it saves me a lot more time doing it this way, so I hope you’ll understand. 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! xo ~ Stephanie
Book info, including release date, was correct at time of posting, but may change at any time.
