"The thriller genre hasn't always dominated the industry the way it does today. In previous eras, romance, literary fiction, and historical fiction have all taken turns staking claim to the title of readers' most-preferred type of book. So why the increase in interest in these heart-racing novels? ... To honor the genre, Stacker compiled a list of 100 of the best thriller novels of all time using bestseller lists, Amazon rankings, and Goodreads ratings. The novels are presented in no particular order.
The list contains thrillers of every type: crime stories, suspense novels, mysteries, legal thrillers, courtroom dramas, psychological and domestic dramas, the list goes on and on. From the original mystery novel, "The Woman in White," to more current hits like "The Shadows," there's sure to be a title or two on the list that will catch your eye." by Madison Troyer
