Fast-paced, conflict-filled, suspense-inducing – all characteristics of a textbook thriller novel.
Some of the best thriller books in the world have been masterful at keeping readers on the edge of their seats; enticing them to turn the page and find out more, while simultaneously being scared at the prospect. Each and every scene is carefully crafted to propel the action forward; a rollercoaster ride of unexpected twists, turns, and tension.
What Makes A Thriller?
Thriller books have a lot of crossover with other genres, such as crime and mystery novels. Often centred around a hero character and a villainous opponent they are trying to defeat in some way, thrillers typically involve a whole lot of cliffhangers and deceptive elements – designed to build suspense and make it impossible not to keep reading.
These are plot-driven stories, designed to pull the wool over eyes; whether it’s the eyes of the character in the book, or the eyes of the reader. If you’re looking for action-packed pages and quick-moving plots, then psychological thriller books are likely to be for you – and Victoria Freudenheim Book Reviews can help you find the best of the best.
