Plain explanations of what separates the thriller categories, and where to start in each.
A guide to psychological thrillers
Psychological thrillers work from the inside out. The threat is rarely a stranger in the dark — it is a version of events you have been given, a memory that does not hold up, a person who knows exactly which doubt to press. The tension comes from perception rather than pursuit.

A guide to domestic thrillers
Domestic thrillers take the places that are supposed to be safe — a marriage, a family, a quiet street — and show what has been kept there. The stakes are intimate: a spouse who is not who they claimed, a neighbour who is always somehow present, a past that arrives with a knock at the door.

A guide to crime & detective thrillers
Crime and detective thrillers are built around the work of finding out: interviews, records, timelines, the one detail that does not fit.
