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 three debut series from Veronica Bond, Carol J. Perry, and Jule Selbo.

The longest running series on this list is “Sharon McCone” by Marcia Muller at 35 books.

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