8 Recent Diverse YA Mysteries To Add To Your TBR Right Now

I love a good mystery novel, and I especially love how the mystery genre is exploding in YA right now! From ripped-from-the-headlines premises to inventive and unique settings, we’re seeing a lot of variety in the genre in terms of both plot and character, and I am especially excited by all the diversity that can be found — with people of color and queer characters at the forefront of these mystery novels. I love to see these perspectives, considering that marginalized groups have traditionally only been included in mystery novels as the victims of crimes, not the ones investigating, surviving, or solving the crimes. It’s great to see the tables turned!

Since a lot of thrilling books with crime or secrets tend to get lumped under the mystery umbrella, for the purposes of this list, I’ve defined mystery as any book where a crime unfolds throughout the book and investigating the crime is the central focus for the protagonist. Not every mystery needs to be about murder — sometimes disappearances, blackmail, and extortion are at the center of these books — but in order to be considered, there is a perpetrator that our teenage sleuth is bent on unmasking.

Here are eight great diverse mysteries released in 2021 and 2022 that you won’t want to miss!

cover of Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf

Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf

Najwa Bakri is one of the many talented teens who participate in the competitive Scrabble circuit, along with her best friend Trina, who was known as the Queen of the Tiles. When Trina dies during a competition, Najwa stops competing for a year, but now she’s ready to come back. Except, while she’s at her first tournament since Trina’s death, someone starts posting from Trina’s Instagram account, leading people to think her death was murder…and her killer won’t hesitate to strike again.

Cold by Mariko Tamaki

Georgia has just learned the tragic news that a teenage boy from her brother’s school has died. Todd Mayer was found dead and naked in a nearby park, in the middle of winter. The circumstances of his death have people gossiping and police investigating, and even Georgia’s curiosity is piqued. But when she sees a picture of Todd, she realizes with a jolt that she has seen him before…someplace where he didn’t belong. Georgia’s perspectives are interwoven with those of Todd’s ghost in this short, affecting novel about friendship, family, and coming of age against the backdrop of tragedy.
