Cozy mystery new releases for August 2022! I’ve managed to collect together 95 new titles coming out in August – are you ready to check them all out?
I’ve been both reading and listening to cozy mysteries this past month and have managed to knock a bunch off my list, but now I have such a backlog of reviews to catch up on! Hopefully I can get some posted in August. But there are so many amazing new books coming out so I’m sure my TBR will be just as long as ever. How about you? Which new releases are you looking forward to the most?
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 in August that aren’t listed below, feel free to leave a comment and let us know about it. (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!)
(You may have noticed that the titles are no longer linked as they were in the past. I’ve decided to leave the Amazon affiliate program so therefore will no longer be linking to them – sorry for the inconvenience! – but I do encourage you to check out these books at your local bookstore or online!
Book info, including release date, was correct at time of posting, but may change at any time.
