EDIT: As some of you have noted, this seems to be missing a number of releases for August… which is good. But it does mean I’ll have to go through my system again and see why it’s missing so many. I know some are delayed releases from previous months due to the lockdown, but I’m not sure in other situations. So this post will be updated soon hopefully!
EDIT 2: OK, looks like this is fixed. I’m still not sure what the all of the problems were (I did figure out why some books were missing, but not all) but it should be more accurate now. And a better looking month of releases as a result!
The following Mystery Books will be released in August 2020:
Donna Andrews: The Falcon Always Wings Twice (This will be the 27th in the Meg Langslow Mystery Series.)

Five on my wish list, but only one on my pre-order list. Big relief considering how many are on my gimme, gimme now list this month.
Happy 4th of July All!

I’ve been playing catch up on all the series I’ve started (presently reading a Patricia Moyes Henry Tibbett) but just had to preorder the new Sara Rosett book….. very much enjoy this smartly written series set in the 1920s. Thank you, Danna, for keeping us informed of new releases…. much appreciation for all you do for cozy readers.

Elizabeth Penney’s second Apron mystery Thread and Dead and Carol Perry’s Murder, Take Two are both coming out Aug. 25. I love Carol Perry’s Salem series and the apron shop series is a fun new series. Bailey Cate’s Witches and Wedding Cakes is due July 28. Really looking forward to that one.

Libbykat, I’ve added some of these, updated some of them (some appear to have been delayed, and I never updated them properly on the monthly list), and not added some – as there are some on here that aren’t site authors or are more than a year out (somehow you seem to have ended up with an “August 2021” or two in there, and that far out I don’t consider exact dates reliable). Thanks!
Libbykat says
Ok, thanks. I will watch my info more closely.
Libbykat says
Secret Staircase by Sheila Connolly did change to 2021. There are really fluctuations in publishing world right now. Thank you for compiling a monthly list for us.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Libbykat, you’re welcome! And I do definitely appreciate being informed – as you say things seem to be changing very quickly and I like to keep the site as up to date as possible. I also apologize if I seemed a little short with you earlier – updating lately has been a bit frustrating.
Ginny Kayfes says
