A Thriller/Mystery By A Non Caucasian Author
When I think of mystery/thrillers, my mind initially goes to the ones by Caucasian authors that I grew up reading but diverse voices in genres like mystery and suspense are needed now more than ever. They offer readers the opportunity to expand their imagination by reading from authors from perspectives not often found in mainstream mysteries.
