New Releases - August 2024

I'm still so behind but I feel I've picked up more of August's titles than I did for July. As ever, do let me know the ones I've missed! 

Here's a snapshot of what I think was published for the first time in August 2024 (and is usually a UK date but occasionally will be a US or Australian date). 92 titles this month (see above).

Please note that, unless specifically mentioned, when a book has differing print and ebook release date, I use the print release date. Translators' names are included where known.

Further to my post about writers of colour and the Theakston Crime Novel of the Year, I have identified the writers of colour (that I know of) with a *** (NB. None again this month).
