Matthew:

Depends on what you mean by "idioms." Stanley Porter
has a book titled "Idioms of the Greek New Testament."

I do not recommend it; it is very elementary, and I simply
have to wonder why he felt compelled to write it. By "idioms"
Porter does not mean a "specialized vocabulary or jargon."
Like in English, "put your money where your mouth is" would
be an idiom; or, "believe you me." There is no such idioms in
his book. Seems to me to be a basic Elementary Grammar of Greek.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
