Releases - February 2026

In the better late than never category (possibly) here is February 2026's releases (103 titles). I have now got July's on the database and am trying to fill in the Mar-June gap. I may just do one post for those. I have nearly 150 titles for July though. 

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 ***

New Releases - July 2025

It's been a while since I've been even vaguely up to date but I'm pleased to share what I have for July 2025 (99 titles) in July! Future releases can be found on the Euro Crime website.

This is still the case though we are now waiting for an operation date - things have been a bit up in the air as my OH was knocked off his bike in early February. He is ok but not back at work yet and may need an operation. So our routines have been changed and I've not been reading as much etc. 

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 2024 Theakston Crime Novel of the Year, I have identified the writers of colour (that I know of) with a ***.

New Releases - March 2025

I'm still behind so this is what I have for March 2025 and will make a start on April and May! 

Things have been a bit up in the air as my OH was knocked off his bike in early February. He is ok but not back at work yet and may need an operation. So our routines have been changed and I've not been reading as much etc. 

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 *** (none this time).
