What is a mystery? It's like a puzzle. A reader has to discover the secret or riddle in order to solve it and find out who the criminal or enemy is. Clues are imperative, but should be puzzling. Make a reader have to think by using a strong plot that paints a picture in the reader's mind, yet leaves them guessing.  |

 What is your idea of a good mystery? Is it a cozy mystery with less action, a hardboiled detective mystery, an amateur detective mystery, or one not mentioned here?
This week's newsletter will center on thrillers. A thriller includes numerous, often overlapping genres that are characterized by fast paced, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of powerful and better equipped villains.  Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings, and cliffhangers are used extensively when writing a thriller. Thrillers often overlap with mystery stories, but are distinguished by their plots. In a mystery/thriller story, the hero must halt the plans of an enemy rather than uncover a crime. In a thriller, the crimes that must be prevented are serial or mass murders, terrorism, assassination, or the overthrow of governments. Jeopardy and violent confrontations are the standard plot elements. Excellent examples of mystery thrillers are Premonition, The Secret Window, The Silence of the Lambs, Seven, The Bourne Identity, Disturbing Behavior, The Invisible, and The Ring, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Thunderheart, and not to mention the Sherlock Holmes tales.
