Popular Book Releases: March 2026

By Graeme McGawFeb 26th, 2026

March is going to be a great month for new books, and today we are looking at new books by the most popular authors on Book Notification.

He took a year off, but I am very glad that Nick Petrie is returning with the latest novel in the “Peter Ash” series, The Dark Time.

If you are a fan of Jack Reacher then trust me – read the Peter Ash series.

Great news for Charles Todd fans, as the latest Inspector Ian Rutledge hits shelves this month.

We have standalone thrillers from two of the best out there releasing this month in Lisa Unger and Sandra Brown.

And what a start to the month – with the 12th novel in the Charlie Cooper Thrillers by Mark Dawson releasing on March 1st.

Another one I am really looking forward to is It’s Not What You Think by Clare Mackintosh. I’m a big fan of Clare and her thrillers, and really looking forward to this one.
