Within this thriller and suspense genre the best crime novels are those that feature strong story plots with adventurous characters, both antagonists and protagonists, who are pitted in games of wit and pursuit, all wrapped in a detective type element, while the clock is ticking.. Thrillers are very similar to general crime fiction except for the fact that their tough, but simple heroic characters, are scripted to seek out and kill the evil villains before they destroy all that is good. The heroes often ward off every imaginable and plausible, (and too often implausible), danger that confronts them on their “time is running out” fight to rid mankind of these menacing threats...before it’s too late. A main element of suspense is skillfully weaved throughout the story and the reader is kept hanging in the balance, unsure if all will be well and left wondering what will happen next. There are often heady sub plots and cunning parallel stories within the main story that add to the mystery and suspense, and are even more reasons to keep the reader guessing.

Thrillers have varied backgrounds that stress murder mysteries, corruptions, supernatural phenomena, paranormal, etc. The best crime fiction thrillers draw intense interest and create heightened anxiety among the readers, who are cautious, yet eager to find out what will happen next. Also they have intricate and interesting plots, set in terrifying venues, and almost always engage the reader in rooting for its compelling heroes. These crime mystery books in the thriller vein have far reaching appeal, engrossing a wide spectrum of readership, which includes the young adult audience, who is drawn to the thriller genre because they are, futuristic, more daring, and more to the point, more action packed. The reader can close his or her eyes and envision the special effects that are certain to be incorporated, in abundance, into the successful books’ future movie venture.
