I'd recommend 'Such a Fun Age' by Kiley Reid. While it has elements of social commentary, it also has thriller - like suspense. The story revolves around a young black babysitter and a situation that gets out of hand, with secrets and misunderstandings that keep you hooked. It's a unique take on the thriller genre in 2020.

It's a very psychological and dark thriller. 'Misery' by Stephen King is also a great option. A famous writer is held captive by his 'number one fan' in a very dark and terrifying situation.
