ANALYZING WHAT THE CURRENT BEST SELLING MYSTERY AND THRILLER NOVELS HAVE IN COMMON
First thing everyone will have to admit is the name of the author plays a major role in getting many people to buy a book. These authors have worked hard and deserve to be rewarded. Other than that, I thought it would be interesting to see what others aspects the current best sellers share.
In THE TARGET by David Baldacci we have a President who turns to two professional assassins who can stop a major menace that threatens the world, a big picture thriller.
In contrast we have I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN by Mary Higgins Clark, where the author brings the terror down to a deep personal fear of losing your child, and that is after losing your own life, making it impossible to be there to provide any protection.
Next, you have MOTHER’S DAY OUT by Karen MacInerney, which is more of an amateur sleuth who attempts to become a professional, but has a mixture of comedy relief in still a book full of deep thrills and several unsolved mysteries.
Another favorite area for thriller writers is the rich and famous, which is what Stuart Wood writes in his novel CARNAL CURIOSITY, bringing back one of his best characters, Stone Barrington into action to solve crimes involving the super rich in NYC and exploiting their own secrets against them.
In G. M. Ford’s book, CHUMP CHANGE, we have another private detective searching for answers to the death of a millionaire who has a past connection with the detective.
Additionally, you have Greg Iles new book, NATCHEZ BURNING, where you have a legal thriller set in the deep south and a small town confrontation with its notorious past involving the kkk.
Therefore in conclusion as to what makes the best thrillers and mystery books currently on the market you have to look at one main clue–each writer makes their book stand out and different from everyone else. All of these books are totally unique. Each takes you into a new world that has to be explored, and one that only this author can deliver.
