Here is a list of over 50 new titles representing major genres such as cozy mysteries, traditional mysteries, historical mysteries, and others releasing this month, with five debut series from Kris Calvin, Marie Force, Lori Duffy Foster, R. Franklin James, and Amy Rivers.

The longest running series on this list is “Prey/Lucas Davenport” by John Sandford at 31 books.

As always, I hope there is a new title to suit everyone’s personal taste. Embrace the adventure!
