105 New Mysteries & Thrillers by Authors of Color

"It's Mystery Week here at Goodreads, and we're solving the case of how to find a great new mystery to crack open. On tap today: 105 new mysteries and thrillers from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) authors.

These are all new mysteries and thrillers published in the past three years. Bear in mind that this isn't a complete list, and you can find plenty of other great titles out there. (In fact, feel free to add your own recommendations in the comments section.) We've cut a wide swath through the usual subgenres—cozies, procedurals, horror-adjacent—and we've excluded YA titles."
