You can find these and many more Cozies scheduled for release soon on the Soon to be Released Mysteries page on my site.
(These are the mysteries by authors who are currently on the Cozy Mystery site.)
James R Spears says
I love mysteries of all types especially the older ones like Catherine Aird and Ngaio Marsh. Are there any new ones who write in a similar style as these two?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
James, if you are a fan of Ngaio Marsh, my top recommendation would be the other “Queens of Crime”, Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, and Margery Allingham. Ellis Peters and Ruth Rendell are other authors I often recommend to fans of classic Cozies.
New authors, I’m not so sure about. Newer Cozies follow another, somewhat different formula from the classics. I know plenty I’d recommend – but none off the top of my head that I would recommend because of their similarities to the classics.
James R Spears says
Thank you. I will check them out.

Danna - cozy mystery list says
Susy, thanks for letting me know… that’s a big list of big-name books missing from my list… I’ll have to check my system to see what else might be missing…
Susy S says
I’m not sure what system you have been using, but it is normally very good. Sounds like a hiccup this time.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Susy, yes, it’s normally pretty reliable… but for whatever reason, the next few months look a little “thin” so it might be missing more. I’m still checking on it.
Ginny Kayfes says
just an FYI for you. Krista Davis is coming out with a new Paws&Claws mystery in April. I think the the title is Big Little Spies. This series is my favorite of all her books. I am definitely looking for some Wagtail Inn fun. Thanks. Ginny
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Ginny, thanks for letting me know. I’m not sure how this (and others) slipped through the cracks, something I’ll have to look into. Thanks!
Marilyn Sliva says
Your ‘Soon To Be Released Mysteries page” is missing:
Ellie Alexander – Mocha She Wrote – 6/29/21
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Marilyn, thanks… I’ve missed some other books lately, so I’ll have to check out what’s not working in the system I’m using… but I’ve added this one, so thank you!
Susy S says
J. C. Eaton also has Murder at a Classy Kitchen coming out on March 9. I just confirmed this on Amazon since my lists are put together earlier in the year.
