Thrillers with BIPOC Representation

I wish I knew how to tagmesh in WordPress the way LibraryThing does. If any of you know how to do that, please let me know!

I try hard to read diversely, but thrillers are my favorite genre and I struggle to find thrillers with BIPOC representation. I’m sure there are MANY indie thrillers out there by BIPOC individuals, but I consume most of my books via audiobook and indies often don’t get turned into audio productions. I’ve been trying hard to find and feature BIPOC thrillers this year, though.

Please drop suggestions below, especially if they have audiobooks available on Libby or Hoopla!

This list doesn’t live-update, but I’ll do my best to come back and add to it often. If I haven’t, please check out my live-updating lists of books I’ve reviewed that have BIPOC representation, books that embrace Black joy, or books with AAPI representation. Both those lists include all genres.
