Coming to Climax by Bobbye Terry<\/p><\/div>\n

Many have attempted to explain the difference between a mystery, a suspense and a thriller, often to no avail, as in this day and age, the definitions have become blurred.<\/p>\n

The suspense\/thriller<\/strong> genius, Alfred Hitchcock, did distinguish between suspense and surprise<\/strong> by pointing out that if a bomb went off under a table where two characters were conversing, that would be a surprise.<\/p>\n

But, if the viewer saw or reader read how the bomb was placed there and knew the bomb was going off at 1:00, there would be suspense as to whether or not the two people at the table would escape unscathed or be blown to bits.<\/p>\n

A mystery<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a novel of discovery, with action more mental than physical. A significant event has occurred, such as a crime, especially a murder. The protagonist must determine who committed the crime, and why.<\/p>\n

In most cases, the person(s) responsible for the crime is\/are unknown until the end of the story. Who committed the crime is, however, only part of the reader\u2019s journey. The real excitement comes from working through the tension developed by the conflict between the characters. It\u2019s an adventure of examining the mental make-up of the good and bad guys.<\/p>\n

A thriller<\/strong> is a combination of the mystery and the suspense. Tension occurs from both knowing something terrible is about to happen, but also from the often impactful force of the clash between characters. Thrillers usually contain a significant amount of action and are intricately developed, often with a primary and multiple secondary plots occurring simultaneously.<\/p>\n

To go one step further, a thriller can border on a horror story. This can often happen when either there is a tremendous amount of bloodshed or other brutal occurrences and\/or sudden surprises abound\u2014think\u00a0Final Destination<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nick of Time by Bobbye Terry<\/p><\/div>\n

I write all three. My Briny Bay Mystery<\/em> series is comprised of cozy mysteries. Everything is based on mind games and dialogue. There are action and twists in the plot, but the meat of the story is based on character. My Climax, Virginia<\/em> series, on the other hand, has elements of suspense and thriller.<\/p>\n

These books, beginning with Coming to Climax, Book 1<\/em>, appear to be cozy mysteries, but you soon discover that what they tout as “danger lurking beneath the surface,” is actually a mixture of evil occurrences and a field trip inside psychologically disturbed minds. This is especially true in Book 2 in the series,\u00a0Nick of Time<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ll check out my writing, and I\u2019d love to hear about examples of each type of book that I have described from your reading pile.<\/p>\n
