A few things before we jump straight into the list. There are tons of fantastic mystery/thrillers by Asian authors you can read, both in translation and written originally in English — both of which I chose to include in this list.

But without further ado, let’s jump into eight amazing mystery/thrillers by Asian writers you should definitely read ASAP.
