And Katy would like to give a shout-out to Watson and Holmes, "re-envisioning Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson as African-Americans and taking place in New York City& #39;s famous Harlem district". It& #39;s a bit tropey but does have a Black author and is cool: https://www.comixology.com/Watson-and-Holmes/comics-series/9709?ref=Y29taWMvdmlldy9kZXNrdG9wL2JyZWFkY3J1bWJz">https://www.comixology.com/Watson-an...
Be sure to check some or all of them out! If you& #39;re someone who reads tons of thrillers or mysteries, these are all excellent resources to help you diversify your choices. Read on! #reading #books #mysteries
