August 2020 Mystery Book New Releases

July 4, 2020

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.)

Winnie Archer (aka Melissa Bourbon & Misa Ramirez): Dough or Die (This will be the 5th in the Bread Shop Mystery Series.)

Lucy Burdette (aka Roberta Isleib): The Key Lime Crime (This will be the 10th in the Key West Food Critic Mystery Series.)

V.M. Burns: Paw and Order (This will be the 4th in the Dog Club Mystery Series.)

Lynn Cahoon: Chili Cauldron Curse (This will be the 1st in the NEW Kitchen Witch Mystery Series.)

Bailey Cates (aka Bailey Cattrell & Cricket McRae): Witches and Wedding Cakes (This will be the 9th in the Magical Bakery Mystery Series.)

Vivien Chien: Killer Kung Pao (This will be the 6th in the Noodle Shop Mystery Series.)

Hannah Dennison: Death at High Tide (This will be the 1st in the NEW Island Sister Mystery Series.)

Victoria Gilbert: Booked for Death (This will be the 1st in the NEW Booklover’s B&B Mystery Series.)

Debra H. Goldstein: Three Treats Too Many (This will be the 3rd in the Sarah Blair Mystery Series.)

    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!

        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.

          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.
