Susy, thanks! I have added this to the list.

Hi, there is an addition cozy mystery being released in October. Louise Penny’s The Grey* Wolf. It has been two years since we have been able to go back to Three Pines to see how all our favorite characters are doing. I predict that on the week it is released it will be at the top of the New York Times bestseller list!
* Grey is the preferred Canadian spelling

Wow…..many great new releases! I’ll be requesting several from my library. Thank you for keeping us so well informed!

Pam, you’re welcome! I’m glad that this sort of post helps you find books to request.
PamB says
There are a few authors I do buy when the paperbacks are released especially David Rosenfelt books. You mentioned him several years ago and he quickly became a favorite of mine.
Carlene O’Connor says
I’m of course happy to be listed anywhere but I do want to caution folks that my Count Kerry series are not cozies. And the upcoming one is a dark one. Again, thrilled to be mentioned but want readers to understand it’s not cozy.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Carlene, thanks for pointing that out! I’ll mark this series as “not Cozy” on your author page and for future releases of this series.
Stephanie Doran says
It’s a great October!

MJ, thanks – I’ve added this to the list!
Jim says
Amanda Flower is one of my favorite authors. Another read waiting for me. Thanks

Jim, you’re welcome!

I would also say the Penny book isn’t a cozy except perhaps the descriptions of the wonderful food. But I’m happy to see it feature here. I’m always happy to see another David Rosenfelt. I reread them!
I just discovered this website so I’m going backwards. It is great to know about it.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Faithful, I’m always glad to see new visitors! I hope you find plenty of new favorite authors.
