Mysteries by Black Authors

Mysteries by Black Authors is my weekly exploration of the rich and growing world of Black mystery fiction. Each week, I dive into a new corner of the genre — sometimes by focusing on a single mystery novel or short story, other times by sharing a curated list of new releases, hidden gems, or themed book recommendations. I also spotlight Black mystery authors, digging into their work, their characters, and the unique perspectives they bring to the genre.

From classic whodunits to contemporary thrillers, I guide you through the books and writers who deserve a place on every mystery lover’s shelf. And from time to time, I sit down with authors for thoughtful conversations about their craft, their inspirations, and the stories they’re excited to tell.

If you’re looking to discover great mysteries by Black authors — one book, one list, or one conversation at a time — join me each week as I uncover the detectives, sleuths, and storytellers shaping Black mystery fiction today.
