Description
A thriller novel is a novel that uses suspense, excitement, apprehension and exhilaration to tell a story. Thriller novels have villains, suspense, and action in settings such as espionage, medicine, crime, politics, and high tech.
They often involve life and death situations and have high stakes, like the control of the world or the possibility of widespread death or destruction.
Many times innocent people are victimized, stalked, or caught in situations that are beyond their control.
Characters have to overcome obstacles, either alone or with a small group of people, and stop some catastrophe from happening. Thrillers usually have a happy ending.
