Thriller/suspense/mystery books with working class characters

I've noticed that most books in these genres these days are about affluent or upper middle class people. Why do you think this is? It seems that in so many books, the protagonist is not only attractive, but has her own business or some sort of dream job. Why no stories about ordinary middle class or working class people who find themselves in extraordinary situations? submitted by /u/Sparkle8022 [link] [comments]
