Am I the only one to wonder what exactly the difference between a thriller and a mystery is? Are they really different? Well! The books are categorized based on various factors such as marketing goals, author’s reputation and store space. However, there are known differences between mystery and thriller. Understanding those differences will help you pick what you expect from specific book. For mystery lovers, Mediazenn is a one-stop destination.
A mystery is created around some secret and often asks “Who?” Something has happened for example, a woman is murdered or a jewelry is stolen and the hero and the reader know this. The entire story revolves around who has committed the crime. In mysteries, a detective often gathers evidences, reveal clues and solve the case. He may get into danger in an attempt to disclose the truth, but he will not have serious injuries as his survival can only solve the puzzle.
In a thriller novel, a reader asks “How?” and propels the story with action. The hero and the reader know the criminal and they wait to see how is caught. In a thriller, the protagonist can be a lawyer or hunter or a normal person. Thriller is called a thriller because it is full of thrills such as bomb explosions, car chases, violence, bank heists, etc. If you are a fan of thriller, you will love mystery too. Do not restrict yourself by genre. Pick up any mystery or thriller from Mediazenn and dig in.
