What is Suspense?
In suspense fiction books the compelling questions isn’t necessarily who did it but whether the villain will be caught before committing another crime. Suspense novels that involve in-depth analysis of the character are sometimes referred to as psychological suspense.
Thriller fiction books are fast-moving, propelled by action, chase scenes, and violence, and frequently involve larger-scale villainy such as espionage, terrorism and conspiracy.
